So, here’s a Summer mini-dress for hot days. Non-stop cuteness from the 1960’s in a breezy A-line style, kind of MOD. So easy-wear with adjustable back ties and front button closure.
This one was custom-tailored. Nicely finished at the neckline and armholes with matching liner. The fabric is a loosely-woven hopsack-y type, which was very popular in the late 1960’s.

How cute is this – and, in wonderful condition?! Nice two-tone probably cotton fabric, with a flippy pleated skirt and button tab decoration at the hip-line. It was fashioned at home by a seamstress with confidence who made exactly what she wanted, with a perfect fit for her. It’s a little big on me, but the style makes it super-easy to alter the size.
I can just imagine Ann-Margret in a frock like this one, riding on the back of a scooter in a mid-century movie. What a treat!

This dress is pristine – a beautiful example of a custom-tailored frock from the 1960’s or 1970’s. The fabric is quilting-type cotton with small floral detail. Very patriotic, too, if you’re into that.
Prairie style was huge during the 1965 – 1975 decade and I suspect that was when this dress was made. However, it’s almost like new with very little evidence of wear. Perhaps it was made for a special occasion. Because of the style – a bit prissy for my taste – it might not have been worn regularly. Long sleeves limit the summer usefulness but are a great plus for Fall. All things considered, I’m thrilled to find a frock in such perfect condition!
Unraveling the clues is always the icing on the cake. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
