Too adorable, TRUE Vintage, late 50's, sweetheart Americana fitted dress in red white and blue. β€οΈπ€π I helped my mom's friend clear out her mother's house after her passing and I was paid in spectacular vintage clothing that belonged to her mother. This one is a gem but is sadly too small for me. I'm almost positive it's handmade. The stitching would indicate as much and there are no tags or marks of a manufacturer. I believe the fabric is a linen cotton blend. I weigh 125 lbs and it's about 2 sizes too small for me. There a few faint stains on the inside of the collar. I have kept this treasure in great condition in a garment bag. Features cinch waist and darling functioning hip pockets. The chest pockets are non functional- just for show. The peter pan collar and little floral attachments are too darn cute. It reminds me of Henry and Ramona on the 4th of July. This is for a petite frame. It's in amazing condition and has held up better than anything I've gotten from fast fashion. Hand wash, dry clean or spot treat then hang dry. I don't recommend putting this in a washing machine.
Approximate but carefully taken Measurements:
16β Pit to Pit
24β Waist Circumference
38β Length

Hi there, I'm wondering if this has any stretch? You seem tiny and i can't imagine anything feeling small on you! I'm 5/3" and around 113... i'm fearing as much as i love this that it might be too small for me? Thanks!

@chocyfrosting thank you for a great specific question. It's a darling dress and I'm fairly positive it was handmade. Not much stretch I'm afraid. It zips under the pit only- if you have broad shoulders it would be hard to get on. (always happy to share my measurements to help you decide) my shoulders are about 17" across shoulder to shoulder. If you have someone help you I'd say an inch or two less would be a fit. I'm up to about 130lbs and I'm 5'4.5" so I think this just might work for you!

@chocyfrosting tell you what... If you put the two dresses you like in a bundle, I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised at my offer... Just consider it. No pressure.

@chocyfrosting anytime! I'm about to sound old-- but back in my day we had to go to the mall and try things on LoL. These days online shopping can be really hard- but buying secondhand is so much better for the planet. Always happy to get specific with inquiries.
