Here’s a good picture of the a-line shift dress that I found in New Zealand last fall.  Very plain and classic in style, but that’s often the best.  It’s certainly a design that was VERY common in the Sixties decade. Probably custom-tailored, with a metal zip, which I also enjoy finding in a true vintage piece.

The feature I like most about this dress is the fabric.  It’s a nice woven cotton – hard to find now – in a print that uses the colors and dotted style that you will find in the Aboriginal & Maori artwork from Australia and New Zealand.  It’s a wonderful souvenir of my time  there.. . . . . . .
