A great little easy breezy smock dress. This dress is most likely from the late 1970s or early 1980s and appears to be made of a cotton and synthetic blend. It has bold purple cross-stitch embroidery panels at the yoke and just above the hem, as well as contrast threading at the sleeves. It has a defined waistline, and a more simplistic design, suggesting that this may have been a homemade project. It is unlined, with no closures and is worn by pulling it over the head.
Condition: Some larger holes running along the hem and at the seam connecting the bust section and sleeves - perhaps from more purple thread that was removed? Some light bobbling here and there. An incredibly faint stain to the back.

Vintage clothing is often homemade and/or follows a very different size guide to modern-day clothing. Please ensure you check the measurements carefully on the product description before making your order. We use a rough sizing guide based on waist sizing:
XS | Waist 22"- 25"
S | Waist 26"- 27"
M | Waist 28"- 30"
L | Waist 31"- 32"
XL | Waist 33"- plus
Please do not take the size guide as gospel as the size stated here may not be the size you would normally buy. It is very important to know your bust, waist and hip sizing ahead of purchase.
