1970s True Vintage Plain Jane Romantic Boho Cottagecore Peach Floral Sun Dress S

Description: Actual MeasurementsThe measurements on this dress seem a little off to me. The waist and the breast measurement should be about 10 inches in difference. On this dress, it is 14 inches of difference. I do not see any evidence that the dress has been altered or messed with. I just want to point this out for fit. Bust 34 inches.I measured this 5 different ways and it always came out to 34 inches. Rib cage, between the breasts and the waist 30 inches Waist 28 inches Hips are full Total length 42.5 inches Outside shoulder to waist 15.5 inches To make sure something will fit, take measurements from a piece of clothing that fits you well and use those measurements to compare. If you use your personal actual measurements, you should always figure needing two inches extra for breathing room. Label- Plain Jane Closes with back metal zipper Fabric is 100% cotton. It is lightweight and semi sheer. This dress is unlined. ConditionNo stains, holes, or tears. It has its original factory sewn hem. The underarms are clean. The fabric has a faded look about it and I think this is by design. It is hard to tell how much is actual fade from the years and how much is inherent in the fabric. Since the faded look is overall, throughout the whole dress, I think it is by design. The label condition indicates this has been previously washed and worn. What Diane Likes About This DressThe Plain Jane label has a very interesting history. It was started in the mid 60s by two friends, Susie Tompkins and Jane Tiese. This pair of scrappy entrepreneurs had little business experience, but a lot of design savvy. Their strength was in making very trendy and desirable pieces that catered to the carefree California lifestyle. Their designs were an immediate success. There must have been some juicy internal stuff going on, because there is a ton of information out there about Susie and her husband Doug turning the Plain Jane label into the 80s powerhouse Esprit label. But what became of Jane is less reported. After all, Plain Jane was named after her, right? How did she leave the company? Why is there so very little out there about what happened internally with Jane and Susies friendship? We know she made patterns under her name for the Butterick label. They are great designs which prove her skill and talent all on her own. I can't help but feel that Jane is a unheralded fashion force of the 60s and 70s. It sounds like the makings of a pretty riveting serial podcast to me.I know I would listen. This dress is a example of the romantic and nostalgic vibe that was floating around California in the 70s. I like how the flower pattern is in a large bouquet. It is a fresh and creative take on the floral patterns of the 50s. The overall look of the dress is meant to come across as faded and vintage. It has a little bit of the Gunne sax vibe, but in a way that is inspired by, not a copy. This dress is from their earlier years and it is a very good buy for both wearers and collectors. "What I always loved about vintage clothes is that you let the woman who wore them before you live on in some way." Liz Goldwyn "Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well." Vivienne Westwood This dress can ship ground advantage or priority mail. Both options are offered. I am always happy to combine shipping. I have a large amount of vintage clothing and am always adding new pieces.
