Such a pretty summer dress! It dates to the early 1960s. The bodice features a gently squared-off yoke front and back - it also forms the straps and wraps under the arms. The yoke is piped with pink cording. The full skirt is attached to the bodice with soft inverted pleats.

FABRIC/COLORS: No fabric content label - based on a fiber burn test and hand feel, I believe it is cotton - it is a medium weight twill weave, very soft and smooth to the touch. The watercolor-style floral print is just lovely - looks like tulips, done in soft shades of pink to coral, with smaller blue flowers (forget-me-nots?) with goldenrod to brown leaves and stems against a creamy ivory background.
