A FUN POLISHED COTTON PSYCHEDELIC PRINT TUNIC AND PANTS FROM THE LATE 1960’S

A FUN POLISHED COTTON PSYCHEDELIC PRINT TUNIC AND PANTS FROM THE LATE 1960'S

This cute lounging outfit (or hostess set for your patio party) was made by Dash About. There is an embroidered tag inside.

When I found this, I thought it was made in Hawaii because of the fabric, but probably not. It’s just a lovely polished cotton printed in brilliant colors.

The top could even be worn as a mini-dress. I can see Cher in something like this. I just love the print and the peacock hues.

Metal zipper up the back. The pants have an elastic waist, so it’s nothing high-end. But really cute and versatile. You won’t see anything like this around the next corner!

TRUE VINTAGE MID-FIFTIES DAY DRESS BY THE KORET COMPANY

TRUE VINTAGE MID-FIFTIES DAY DRESS BY THE KORET COMPANY

The Koret company made women’s clothing starting in the 1930’s or 1940’s and had several off-shoots over the years. This lovely day-dress is a plus size, believe it or not, by a division called Korelle. It would now fit what we would call a medium size.

It’s made of a heavy, slinky nylon, polyester or blend and look at those colors! I have another one very much like it.

There’s a metal zipper at the waist on the left, and the fabric-covered belt. The buttons have huge blue rhinestones in them.

I just love the colors. This type of material takes color so well and drapes so nicely. The style is always flattering.

Koret made some very nice things over the years and they are still in business, apparently, though I can’t say that what they produce now is particularly distinguished. Only the true vintage examples that have been in hiding are worth searching for . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
