I nearly passed this one up because it seemed pretty plain and a bit on the ugly side. Being as how I have a fondness for the ugly and overlooked, I decided to give her a good home.
She has very pretty coloring and an interesting floral print. I don't know what the fabric is, but it seems unique in comparison to modern clothing. It looks to me to be handmade, as it is pretty simple and has no labels, although I know sometimes labels can fall off with time or be removed.
The one thing I found to be the most interesting is the shoulder pads. I know that shoulder pads are most commonly associated with clothing from the 1980s, but can be found from time to time in older garments as well. These shoulder pads were very light, and looked hand stitched onto the dress because each shoulder pad was fastened with a different color thread.
I have attempted to attach photos for you all, hopefully it worked! She is photographed with a slip underneath that has a little fullness to it, in attempt to show her off with more body because she has somewhat of a full skirt to her.
Oh! Also, I had to replace the zipper because it broke just after I bought her. The original zipper was the same hidden style zipper, and was also white.
I'm interested to hear your thoughts on date, fabric, and anything else!
