Dream about going scuba diving into the ocean blue in this darling 1950s novelty dress! It has a bright blue cotton fabric with a contrasting fish, coral and maybe a partial starfish border print in light blue and white. Vintage dress is unlined and zips up the back with a metal zipper.
This beauty comes from my personal collection and I have had many fun times in this gorgeous dress(like seeing Langhorne Slim perform for my first time in the back of a record shop and I've seen him across 3 states since then) but this no longer fits and never will, so she's available for new memories :)
LABEL: Sun Fashions of Hawaii, Made in Honolulu FABRIC: feels like cotton SHOULDER TO WAIST: 15.5" BUST: 33" WAIST: 25" HIPS: 54" LENGTH: 40.5" HEM: has 2" total of hem folded under but I can tell there is a noticeable lighter edge at the fold so I would not suggest letting it out SWEEP: 46" measured flat CONDITION: great, blue color slightly faded in areas most noticeably on the shoulder strap where the color is more white(see close up), has a repair to the right of the zipper above the waistline(see photo), fabric pill below waistline(see photo), there is light faded contrasting color in the coral that looks like it may have had some metallic gold color detailing at some point but without another dress like this to reference I can't be sure PINNED TO MODEL?: no
☝For reference Marie's measurements are S 14", B 33.5", W 24.5", H 32"
