Vtg 60s 70s YELLOW ** CHERRY FLOCKED ** GIRLS DRESS SZ 10-12 Repurpose FABRIC

Description

Great find! Here is a
long length
vintage girls dress featuring FLOCKED CHERRIES on a pale pineapple yellow background. The flocking is on the red cherries only; the green leaves are not flocked. Dress details include round scoop neck, short flutter sleeves, back tie, and red plastic button embellishment. Back zipper closure. Fabric construction unknown, but it is a high-quality feel synthetic fabric that is similar to crepe? The fabric is not polyester; it does not have a shine/sheen and it has no stretch at all. Color is a "chameleon" color that looks
very
pale yellow/ivory in certain light - but then in different light looks to be a solid pale yellow. Fabric care tag indicates hand wash/dry clean care. Item likely dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s era.
This dress has no manufacturer size tag. Based upon today's measurements,
this dress is likely a girl's size ten (10) to twelve (12)
. PLEASE NOTE the following measurements on the EXTERIOR of the clothing:
- Chest (armpit-to-armpit) is 15 inches on ONE SIDE (30 inches total)
when the back ties are not tied
. Note that the back ties are attached right beneath the armpits, and therefore,
when the ties are tied the chest measurement size will be reduced
. Thus the adjusted chest measurement is more in the area of 26 to 28 inches, depending upon how tight the ties are tied.
- Waist is free.
- Sleeve length is about 3.5 inches. Sleeves are "free" and roomy.
- Length (shoulder seam to hem) is 54 inches - this is a long dress. Please see below notes about length, etc.
-
Please compare these measurements to a dress your child already owns/wears
.
This is a used, pre-owned vintage item in generally very good condition. It has no rips, holes, or fading. It has the following flaws and recommended uses:
- There is a very large stain near the bottom front of the skirt, as well as a few other smaller stains near the front hem.
If you cut off the stained areas and re-hemmed the dress, it would still measure 38-40 inches long (shoulder-to-hem) - or even shorter, if you wanted.
- There are 3
tiny
black spots on the right side bodice. See photo #8. These marks might be considered non-detracting.
- There is a very small, light stain on the front bodice underneath one of the buttons. See photo #9. There are 2 or 3 other similar size/type stains in various places on the dress, all of which might be considered non-detracting. Note that this dress has not been washed or stain-treated.
- If you are looking for flocked fabric for crafts - or to repurpose a new child/toddler dress - there's plenty of fabric to work with.
- This is not a perfect dress, but it presents very nicely! The ability to shorten/re-hem the dress makes it an excellent, charming item for a child to wear.
