Absolutely stunning true vintage 1960's printed sundress by the iconic DeWeese Design! Fit and flare dress with a bustier style darted bodice and basque waistline - super pin up style with a dash of Edwardian glamour. Beautiful bold Japanese art style print with clouds, cranes, dancing women, etc... in rich warm red, pink, orange, green and purple tones. I'm a big fan of this era of De Weese dresses and haven't seen a print like this before - rare little gem :-)
DeWeese's Swim & Sun Fashions line dress featured a built in Sta Cup bra with a subtle bullet shape, adjustable/removable straps, a smocked low scoop back for a fitted look and a beautiful full skirt with pockets. Perfect for the beach, pool, party or a grocery store - just throw on and go!
No material tag - feels like cotton w/spandex or elastane for the smocked back.
Marked vintage size 11/12 - fits like modern 4, 6 or 8 or small - medium in my opinion. See measurements below for your best fit!
Flat measurements
Bust: 16" unstretched, 19" stretched

*shown on size 2 stockman dress form, model measures 32-23-32
Excellent vintage condition - no flaws noted! I love these dresses and have never found one in such beautiful condition - I would bet it has never been worn given the state of the bra.
Hand-washed, steamed & ready to wear!
