Just this dress.
I found this in the charity shop I volunteer in on a Wednesday morning.
Isn't it just the cutest little dress?
I want one in this style and in this fabric and I want it now thank you very much.
Look at this lovely close up of the pattern.How beautiful are those roses?
If I could swoon, I would.
I'm not sure how old it is. The dress has a stain on it and has a smell about it too, like it's been stored for a long time. It needs a soak in some gentle non-bio washing powder.
The label has yellowed over time and I can't read the make properly as it's a bit torn, something like Prava or Proma?
It states it's for a 7-8 year old but I think S would struggle to get it to fit her at 6.
The instructions on the back read
WASH IN WARM SUDS
DO NOT WRING
IRON WITH A MODERATE IRON
WHILE SLIGHTLY AND EVENLY DAMP.
I love the suds bit and the very precise state it needs to be in for ironing.
It is indeed cute.From the 50's maybe? ;0)
ReplyDeleteIts a gorgeous dress, and yes, I love the laundry instructions :-)
ReplyDeleteWill you use the fabric to create something else?

Love it. So you are a Wednesday morning girl... me - I'm Tuesday afternoons ! I tore out a label for a recycling garment which said...crimplene ...classic !
ReplyDeleteOh, she would look ADORABLE in it!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it could turn into an apron??
So cute. I remember some little dresses from when I was a child, they don't make them like they used to nowadays.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like something I would have been dressed in in the early 60's - its lovely. Would it convert into a skirt? Bring it along on Saturday and i'll have a look at it. xxx
ReplyDeleteIsnt that fabric just gorgeous!!! You do find some good bargains!
ReplyDeleteThe laundry instructions make you yearn for a simpler, less complicated life - where there was time to hand wash in suds and then line dry!
It is a dream dress! Very Mad Men (do you watch that program?)! I have never found a vintage dress that is my size. It makes me ever so sad! One day!
ReplyDeleteI wonder whether the sixties? Maybe possible to tell by the look/design of the label? If I could reduce my hours considerably at work, I would love to volunteer in a charity shop for a day. x
