Short sleeve traditional prairie type dress with ruffle along bodice, neck. Full skirt gathered at waist. Covered zipper down back and long sash that ties from the side of the waist. Excellent condition.
Sewn in the early 1980s by the ladies at Sweet Sense Country Store. The store is closed now but you used to be able to see one of the owners in the back corner sitting at her sewing machine or hand sewing a detail. Her unusually large golden retriever would fetch her scissors.
Very pretty slate blue fabric with red and white flowers and teal leaves. Feminine without being too precious, pleasing pattern to look at that is not too "busy."
Size small. Approximate measurements are: length 44 inches from shoulder to hem, sleeves 13 inches, pit to pit 16 inches, waist 14 inches across for 28 total, from waist to hem skirt is 29 inches, hem is 46 inches across lying flat. Each sash is 36 inches long.
If you're looking for an old fashioned dress that you can wear today, this is it. The real deal...hand done using a traditional dress pattern and fabric with a more modern print with modern colors.

The pit to pit is 15" across? Making it a 30" bust? That's more like an XS. Would you mind double checking the diameter from underarm to underarm? So wanting this to fit me! ☺️

@novembernicole Hello poshmate! Thanks for asking. I will check and let you know. It is a small. The "medium" is a typo. Sorry about that. I will pull it and re-measure...

@novembernicole I re-measured it and I am getting 16 inches across lying flat, or maybe just under 16 inches, pit to pit. That would be 32" bust. There is a little bit of give to the fabric but not much. I have updated the listing. If you love it, I can offer you 50% off and then you will have the money left over to have it tailored. Let me know!

That's so sweet of you! I'll take you up on it. I'm a budding seamstress myself, and will pick apart the front of the bodice and see what I can do. 🪡 😊
