This item is sold from an excellent, highly rated vintage boutique in Roanoke, Virginia.
Fabric is a polished cotton, black background with yellow and white castle turrets. Bodice buttons halfway down with a wide side sash that ties midway. Waist is set in with an unattached belt, side seam metal zipper and 3/4 length dolman sleeves with draw string edges. Skirt is full with side seam pockets on each side. Shoulders have small shoulder pads.
Label is Marsha Young. From what I can find this label specialized in tall sizes. The bodice on this dress is longer than what is usual.
Excellent condition. Fabric is not faded and appears to have never been washed. The hem has been taken up by the original owner.
