This is a cute yet practical summer day dress, most likely dating to the early 1960s. The bodice is shaped with darts, and features an oversized curved collar with lots of thoughtful detailing, including arrow tabs, pintucking, and decorative white plastic buttons. The A-line skirt has soft pleating at the front waist, as well as two large patch pockets, which no woman should be without!

SIZE: No size label  

FABRIC/COLORS: A charming woven plaid, in pastel shades of blue, green and peach, with white and a bit of black, along with the unexpected accent of gold threads, giving a subtle sparkling pinstripe. The fabric is a medium weight cotton or cotton blend.

TAGS: Carol Brent, which was one of the house brands for Montgomery Wards.

CLOSURES: The dress closes with a short sideseam metal zipper. There are self-fabric belt loops but no belt. I have shown the dress in some photos with a belt from my closet - it is not included with purchase.

CONDITION: No stains, holes, tears, or other issues noted.
