    This is a cute cotton day dress with a great print pattern. I’m thinking late 50s but wanted confirmation or otherwise. Thanks!

  2. Pattern and skirt length suggest early '60s to me.

    Hi Mary,
    I bought it for myself - love the print and subtle colors - but sadly it’s too small. Bust is about 36” and waist 26”. I was over-optimistic!

    Let’s be real: I was never not going to buy this, it was so adorable and very inexpensive because it had an unraveled seam I easily repaired. I just hoped it would magically fit, even though it looked too small. There isn’t any room to let it out, either! Oh well.

    It's very lovely! That great pattern is very 60s so I have to agree with the others! I'm sorry it doesn't fit you...
