Vintage A Nancy Frock Retro Authentic 1950s House Dress 16 Striped

Vintage A Nancy Frock Retro Dress Size 16 but runs smaller, see measurements The history of this dress is so fascinating! “A Nancy Frock" refers to the branding of a specific style of dress, not a single historical garment. While the term "frock" is an old word for dress, "A Nancy Frock" identifies a line of dresses, often classic shirt dresses, created by the Fashion Frocks company, with examples from the 1940s, 50s, 60s and 70s. These dresses were promoted as being suitable for "business and street wear" and were sometimes made with patented, wrinkle-resistant fabrics, like this one. The dresses were marketed as versatile, suitable for both business and casual wear, with tags like "MADE TO WEAR ANYWHERE". Also, the trademark link notes that the logo Nancy Frocks (note the plural 'frocks') was filed for in 1959, so this is very likely from the 1950s. 65% polyester, 35% cotton Vertically striped button down Horizontally striped yoke & bottom trim Removable sash belt One pocket on right hip Beautiful colors and pattern This style has been popular since the 40s Pit to Pit ~21" Length ~41.5" Waist ~ 21” *NOTE: Vintage runs smaller Measurements are approximate In amazing condition especially considering how old this is!
