Such a pretty summer dress! It dates to the early 1960s. The bodice features a gently squared-off yoke front and back - it also forms the straps and wraps under the arms. The yoke is piped with pink cording. The full skirt is attached to the bodice with soft inverted pleats.

Bodice length from shoulder seam - 16" (40. 5 cm)

Skirt length: 23" (58. 5 cm)

FABRIC/COLORS: No fabric content label - based on a fiber burn test and hand feel, I believe it is cotton - it is a medium weight twill weave, very soft and smooth to the touch. The watercolor-style floral print is just lovely - looks like tulips, done in soft shades of pink to coral, with smaller blue flowers (forget-me-nots?) with goldenrod to brown leaves and stems against a creamy ivory background.
