Size 4 Pink Dress - Rockabilly 1950s 60s Shirtwaist - Fitted Bodice & Full Skirt - 50s 60s Summer Housewife Sombrero Siesta Scene - Waist 25

This terrific 1960s shirtwaist dress is (surprise!) not really a dress, but a culottes style one-piece romper. It's so well disguised, though, with its classic fitted bodice and knife-pleated full 'skirt'. There's a slouched local boy on the hip pocket, chewing hay and wearing a colorful sombrero in the midday sun. Dress has an attached pair of ties at the waist, lined in sky blue for a cheerful contrast. Original hangtags attached, priced $17.00 over fifty years ago in the late 50s to early 60s.
