50’s/60’s Potato Sack Graphic Muslin Tank Dress Marilyn Monroe
The potato sack dress!!! Inspired by the famous photo of Marilyn Monroe in a potato sack. Once sold as an actual sack back in the day and meant to be taken home for the corners to be cut for arm holes and the top for the neck hole. The rest was already done for you!! Graphic is kitschy and hilarious, “Be beautiful in a potato sack. Looks like a sack, feels like a sack, IS A SACK. Fill with 100lbs. or more of charm, and save money on new French inspired creations. Guaranteed to loose shape without ironing. For evening wear, add Mink trimmings.” This dress seems to have never been washed since the graphic is so bright still. The edges are raw and fraying, which give it such amazing character. You can alter it, add to it, whatever you want to make it your own!!!
Raw edges, very small color transfer at right pit, soft fabric, amazing condition
