Flawed but very wearable, and oh so cute! This 1960s Mod minidress is styled with a trapeze silhouette. The sleeveless bodice has a rounded neckline and short square yoke with a self fabric flat bow at the center of the base. The skirt flares from there, and includes a deep inverted pleat that suggests this could work as a maternity dress. 

SIZE: Labeled size 8  

FABRIC/COLORS: Oversized diagonal plaid in bold shades of fuschia pink and goldenrod yellow, as well as turquoise, moss green, and darker blue, all edged in spiky black. The weave is a bit coarse, like a cross between homespun and boucle. It is bonded to a blue/puprle jersey inside. Tag identifies primary fabric as 100% wool, and inner bonding as acetate.

TAGS: No maker's tag, but there is a union tag for the ILGWU, the one that was used from 1963 to 1974. That tag also includes the RN # - 26026 - which shows up in the FTC database as L.S.P. Ltd in Aurora Illinois.

CLOSURES: The upper bodice closes with three self fabric buttons in back plus a snap at the neck. The lower dress has a metal zipper just below.

CONDITION: there are areas of fading, mostly in a few pink sections. The most noticeable is along right rear shoulder - see closeup - but also near left sideseam of skirt and under left arm. No other issues noted - no stains, holes or odors. And no devil dust!
