Vintage 60s Psychedelic Funky Hostess Dress Details:
- bias cut gown
- super comfortable bright jewel tone multicolored fabric
- pattern is circles filled with stars, swirls, waves and others
- side seam pocket
- handkerchief sleeves
- model is 37" bust and 5'8" tall
- shown on 40" bust dress form
- best for size medium or large depending on how fitted or loose you would like it
Material: likely acetate
Decade: Late 60s/early 70s
Brand/Tags: No tag on this so it could be homemade
Condition: Very good - there is one stain in a yellow hue towards the very bottom of the gown shown in the close up image where the base of the dress form shows. There is also a tiny hole there. There are a few minor snags in the fabric. The actual fabric has imperfections on it from manufacturing. There is a pale line that runs diagonally on the fabric, unnoticeable unless you pull the dress full out and look for it. There is also some missing blue dye from an area of an arm pit, also shown in the images. All of these imperfections with the dye seem to be from manufacturing. The gown hem is asymmetrical. This could have been intentional or it could be from the fabric being cut on the bias and settling over the decades.
