Amazing 50's Red Dotted Dress

Vendor: vintage
Type: dresses

I wish this one would fit me! A fabulous mid-century circle patterned fabric in cranberry red and white. This dress is a “Pat Hartly Original”, and it has great details. Pretty, heavy buttons that I thought were bakelite at first, but aren’t, a dropped and fitted waist that flairs out to a full skirt with a built in red tulle crinoline. There are darts at the bust, and three quarter sleeves. There is a side zipper too, for a really nice fit.

The condition is excellent, there are no flaws that I could find, except for one tiny little hole near the collar, like where someone once fastened a pin. It looks really great for a 50 year old dress!

There is no size label on the garment, but here are the measurements:

34” bust 24” waist **38” hips
