50s or 60s?? MAM'SELLE by BETTY CAROL

[amandainvermont]

I was thinking 60s as well, the reason being - I purchased a dress with very similar fabric at Bergdorf Goodman in the mid-60's. I had been invited to "junior prom" at Princeton (all men back then.) The "band" was 'The Loving Spoonful.' Oh my. I sold that dress dirt cheap. :-(

good! Now I can't be tempted! if it were a 26" waist it would be MINE!!! even though I am a 28 'cause that's what corsets are for!

LOL. Jennifer, I can't be tempted to keep them when they are so tiny, either!

Vicki - are you measuring the waist from the outside or the inside? Wow - that is a tiny waist if you measured it from within

It is tiny!

A Juniors size 5 from circa 50s.

Probably why it is in mint condition!

 

[Linn]

Too small for me, too. Someone is going to love it!

Oh dear, yes....! If only it were a 24 or so in the waist, then I could do it too with a corset. :bisou:
