DESCRIPTION: This adorable sun dress, early to mid-70s, by "Ceeb of Miami," is sprinkled all over with a wonderfully fun sailboat print. You'll turn heads at parties, on the boardwalk, or just out and about. With a slightly full skirt, it can be worn with a small crinoline to add some pouf or without for a casual look. I've shown it both ways.

The dress features a structured built-in bra; adjustable, buttoned shoulder straps with three positions; stretchy, smocked back/side panels; modified sweetheart neckline; princess seaming; and convenient on-seam, hidden side pockets. It has a back nylon zipper.

The fabric is lightweight cotton or cotton/poly blend (probably the latter, since it was wrinkle-free when I line-dried it after washing it). Machine-washable.

SIZE: Labeled size 10, but fits like a modern size 6 to 8. Shown on a size 6/8 dress form, unpinned and without the bra being stuffed. The smocking allows flexibility through the bodice and waist. Please use the garment dimensions to determine fit, not my estimate of size.

* Bust: 34 to 37", unstretched to comfortably stretched and measuring along the contours of the bra cups; cup size probably A to B (not larger)
* Waist: 27" to 29", unstretched to comfortably stretched
* Hip: Full to 43"
Dress Length, top of shoulder to hem: 41" with straps at shortest length; add about 1 1/4" with straps at longest adjustment

* Measured flat on outside and doubled unless otherwise stated.

CONDITION: Excellent. There's a small area of light discoloration on one strap (see photo). I didn't see this until after I'd laundered the dress, but I will spot treat it, and am sure it will come up. The bra is wrinkly but still flexible; no stiffness or crunchiness.

This item is sold from a vintage boutique in York, Pa.
