Oh my gosh, I so wish I was younger and smaller, I certainly wouldn't be selling this striking dress which dates to the late 60's perhaps early 70's. The fabric (probably acrylic) has a wonderful soft hand to it, it seems to caress the body and the colors!, they are bright and beautiful. True Crayola colors of mustard, brown, royal blue, aqua, hot pink, yellow, green, red and black.

This garment is so stylish, with a v neck, double darted bust, a subtle bell flared sleeves, with large pleating down the back that forms a panel effect. It's shape is similar to a tent or trapeze dress but less flared The terms carefree and flippy come to mind. There is a working nylon zipper down the back. Label reads: "mr.'s kailua KONA hawaii"

Please note: Some of the items listed here in my Ruby Lane shop are also for sale in my shop on Etsy called Pretty Swanky Vintage.

Sizing: When I measure any clothing items, they are laid flat, so the measurements are of the garment, not a person. In order to be fairly certain that the item of your choice will fit you comfortably, I suggest that you do the same. Choose a similar item that you have in your closet and make it one that you feel very comfortable wearing. Lay it on a flat surface, take the measurements then compare them with the sizing in the description of the item you are interested in purchasing.

Vintage fashions: Unless otherwise stated, all the items of clothing and accessories that are offered for sale are vintage, ranging from the forties through the eighties. Therefore they have had a great former life and unless noted, all are gently worn. I try my best to buy quality and to note flaws however these items are not new and I do not represent them as “new”. They will not look like you just bought them at your local mall. So if a slight mark here, a loose button or a pulled stitch there, bothers you please don’t buy. I want my customers to be very pleased with their purchase. If you’re happy we’re all happy.

Also please take note that I have absolutely no control over the mail service. Once it’s delivered to them it’s their responsibility. I will always try to mail the cheapest method but with that there is no insurance or tracking number. If you require these services, know that the postage will be quite a bit higher.
