This is a good one from my personal collection……Vintage 1950’s cotton dinner dress adorned with the sweetest fruit pattern of strawberries, pears and apples. These are all spelled out in French as well ( fraises, poires and pommes). Creme colored cotton fabric with graphics in 2 shades of pink. Peter Pan collar. Closes with 11 metal snaps down the front therefore, could also be worn as a vintage duster. Short sleeves have a 2" cuff. This used to have a matching self belt as noted by a thread-like belt loop on one side. All snaps work great! This has no size marking therefore refer to all measurements which were taken with the dress laying flat. Double for bust & waist. Compare to a similar dress you may already own for the best fit. Leave a little wiggle room if you’re dancing after dinner! If I had to guess the size, I’d say a modern 6/8.
Overaylength: 39” with 2-3/4” hem
Bust: 18"
Waist:15"
Hips: 19”
Shoulder to shoulder: 16"
This has been in my smoke free home for 20 years. In very good vintage condition….just 1 discolored fabric snap...see last photo. Thanks for looking! :)

Would you mind adding the actual hip msmt? This is gorgeous but I’m pear shaped and have issues fitting my hips compared to my bust/waist measurement. Thanks!

@sarahmerrily Of course! I will double check this tomorrow AM! :)

@sarahmerrily It’s 19” across. I added an additional photo. I’m listing another soon that is longer and very A-line if this doesn’t work as well as an A- line 1970’s raincoat .

@chickychockgirl thanks so much! I’m so sorry I didn’t think to ask before, but would you be able to give the flat measurement at the hem level? I’m gonna compare it to a similar style dress that I have. I think I might be able to make it work 🤞🤞🤞

@sarahmerrily Sure! I just returned home. Ask me anything. I want to make sure it works for you too.

@chickychockgirl that should cover it for me, thank you so much!

@sarahmerrily Okay….I added a couple more photos showing the waist , hip and hem measurements. To your last question, you’ll see in the photo, 21-1/2” across at the hem.
You’re doing the right thing by a comparison to something you own. !!
