This vintage 1960s day dress is beautifully made, and comes from Anne Fogarty, one of the women at the forefront of American fashion design in the 1950s and 1960s, along with Claire McArdell and Bonnie Cashin. The design is clean and deceptively simple. The bodice has a peter pan collar, and is fitted to the body with horizontal and vertical darts. The skirt waist is smooth at the center front and softly gathered along the sides and back. I love the narrow long sleeve that end with multiple statement buttons that can be used to roll up your sleeves nearly to the elbow!

SIZE: No size label  

FABRIC/COLORS: Camel colored jersey knit with a dry hand - fiber burn test suggests wool. The skirt is fully lined in an peach toned acetate-type fabric. The bodice is fully lined in a camel colored mesh net with some diagonal give to it.

TAGS: Anne Fogarty

CLOSURES: A long metal zipper in back. There is a petersham belt at the inside waist that closes with a hook & eye. There are 4 functional chunky plastic buttons on each sleeve cuff - bound buttonholes and a hook & eye. The dress has thread loops for a belt, but no belt came with it.

CONDITION: There was originally a 3" hem, which is out. I am leaving that for the new owner, since you may prefer a different length than the original. No stains, holes, tears or other issues noted.
