Label Text:This flirtatious, seductive day dress exudes the youthful charm of 1960s fashion. Although the dress is modest, the jersey fabric was intended to cling to a lithe frame, free from the heavy undergarments of the previous generation. The bodice is fashionably simple, yet its curved seams enhance the body’s natural shape.
