This is a classic early 1950s day dress in a great print - these are not easy to find. The shirtwaist style is tweaked with a curvy pointed collar and perky short sleeves. The full skirt is softly pleated into the waist seam.

FABRIC/COLORS: A geometric print in dark turquoise against a white background. The turquoise squares are designed to look like bold paint strokes, complete with streaks and jagged edges. They are arranged in patterns that alternate between vertical and horizontal. The fabric itself is a medium weight cotton.

TAGS: Mode O Day, Styled in California

CLOSURES: The dress opens completely in front, closes with eight oversized white buttons. There is also a single snap just above the waist, most likely added after-market to prevent gaping. There is a belt loop but no belt - I have shown the dress in some photos with a belt from my closet - it is not included with purchase.

CONDITION: The teal color has blurred slightly in the right underarm area -see closeup. A former owner did some minor seam repair work under both arms using a sewing machine - you can see in the closeups that it was not expertly done, resulting in some very minor seam creasing - fabric is intact. There is also a subtle 1" tannish discoloration along the edge of the bodice placket - see second closeup. No other issues noted.

Sturdy, roomy, preserves my shoulders!
Color: Pink
Cute and perfect to help me with my new "minimalist" commitment. After multiple shoulder surgeries I needed to get the purse straps OFF my shoulders. This wristlet hangs on my wrist without slipping off and has enough room for my wallet, chapstick, hand sanitizer, air pods, a few pens, a protein bar, and one or two other random items. Looks small, holds a LOT! Withstands my everyday life of banging it around, spilling coffee on it, and generally putting it through a wringer. It still looks great!

A great, small wristlet purse.
Color: Black
I purchased an ivory and navy blue GAYI URBAN clutch bag and love them! Small, Cute, classy and surprising how much you can fit in the purse! I also purchased a black one that smells like dead fish and am returning that one. That is disappointing.
