1950s day dress large - nearly fainted

[plousia]

OK folks I know that for those of you who have been in this business for a long time, this is probably NBD but I actually seriously got a little lightheaded in the Goodwill and simply could not believe my eyes when I saw this 1950s cotton shirtdress IN A SIZE THAT LOOKED LIKE IT WOULD FIT ME. When I got it home sure enough it measured 45"/34" (just how on earth were 1950s women shaped like that?!) I don't think I can sell this one! I "collect" 1950s dresses (well, I have about 5 or so I guess) and they are so expensive especially in this type of large size and almost perfect condition! This one literally appears to have no flaws other than its missing belt.

OK, I will calm down now. Eventually :D

That was a great find…you don’t find those easy to wear day dresses very often that are a good size. Love the length too!
