Women’s yellow cotton fit and flare dress. Great everyday or special-occasion dress, depending on accessories. This dress has an unusual construction; see close-up photos. Along the body of the dress, there were narrow folds made on the fabric back, then stitched every 1/2" or so to give, on the front, the illusion of separately seamed "ribbons" of fabric. It's made of a medium-weight, plain-weave cotton and has a side metal zipper. The color is a light mustard yellow, not lemon yellow, and is slightly more muted than shown under the photo lights.

The narrow floral belt is included; the red one is not.

There's the remnant of a cloth tag at the neckline, so this was commercially made, but no identifying marks or tags remain.

Shown in photos both with and without a full crinoline.

Condition: Very good to excellent. Freshly laundered. There are two tiny red spots on the front of the skirt that wouldn't photograph. Not noticeable in the folds of the dress and also will likely come up with additional spot treatment.

Size: Estimated "best fit" for a size 2 or 4. Shown on a size 0 - 2 manni and was a little roomy through the bust. Garment dimensions below; we recommend you compare them to a similarly styled dress you own that fits you well. There's no stretch to the fabric, so please leave fit ease.

Detailed measurements:

Bust - 35 inches
Waist - 26 inches
Body Length - 42 inches
Hip - 45 inches
