This absolutely adorable 1960s (possibly early 1970s) dress would be perfect for Fall! The combination of dark inky blue, yellow, and white gives off the perfect collegiate vibes (ironically I found this piece in Michigan!). The silhouette of this piece is so fun, I particularly love the drop waist and the pleated skirt. The dress zips up the front and features the cutest little pocket on the chest! The navy blue fabric feels like nylon to me, the rest (skirt and edging) it thicker woven and while it may be nylon, it may be poly. The piece is not lined. There are two labels -one for R& K and the other for Alvins - as well as a Union tag. Would likely best fit a modern Extra Small to Small as there is some slight give to the fabric, but please see measurements. Model is a moderns 4/6 for reference.

Approximate Measurements (please also refer to photos) :
Bust: 32 inches from flat lay, can stretch to 34 inches - model is 34b and it fit ok
Waist: 26 inches
Hips : 34 inches from flat lay image, but 36 inches pulled taught (model is 36 inches and it seemed to fit ok)
Length: 43 inches from back of neck, down
Good vintage condition - Overall wear to the dress. There are some faint marks to the dress and some really tiny pulls, wear spots, and pin-holes in places. There is some discoloration found on the dark blue, but it was most obvious to me in bright light and on and around the little pocket - this was hard to photograph due to the ever so slight sheen to the fabric. Some slight wear to the seams noted on the exterior as well as some wear to the sinner seam allotments. None of this should impact wear. Some wear to tags.
All measurements are approximate as they are taken flat - for garments specifically this means where applicable (bust, waist, hips) has been doubled unless stated otherwise. If you are uncertain about fit and/or need more measurements please ask! If it is provided in the listing, models and/or dress form sizes are used as a point of reference only. Please remember that all bodies are different so always defer to the measurements I provide and check them against your own, preferably on a similar style garment.
