50s/60s Unusual Shirtdres Size 20.5 Volup Pattern 4782

This shirtdress style looks good on everyone and is great for summer! This one has a specially great style, with princess seams that almost look like a vest going down into points in the flared skirt. You could play that up by using a contrast fabric in those parts. A nice sweetheart neckline, too!

Anne Adams was a mail-order company (one of several that all turned out to be the same company)--a great convenience for people who wanted good fashion and couldn't get to the fancy city fabric stores.

Under the sizing rubric the company was using at the time, a size 20. 5 had a 40-inch bust.

Note that this is an UNPRINTED pattern. You don't have to cut the pieces out--they come stamped from the factory--but the dots, etc., are punched into the tissue. They're easy to use, but some people find the look of them intimidating at first. You'll have great fun!

All pieces are present and neatly folded. They may even still be in factory folds.

My home is nonsmoking and pet-loving. The cats and dog don't sew, but they might help me tape up the package. Also, this is a item acquired from someone else; I don't know its full history as to potential allergens.

This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Virginia.
