Navy Print Dress - CLICK ON PHOTOS to ENLARGE
I am having trouble dating this dress. It is a navy rayon flower print accented at the square collar and flap-pockets in a companion print.  It is unlined, has no labels,  and has a plastic or vinyl SIDE YKK zipper that may be a later addition or a replacement.  

I purchased it from a collector/seller who did not change the zipper but she did stablize some of the fragile seams.  She taggged it "A 1950's A-line" dress but I don't see 1950's.

Given to Anna - 1-23

Navy Print Dress
It's fairly long.  The skirt falls in soft pleats by the pockets. There are princess seams - the stitching is visible. The sleeves and hem do not have any tape and no allowance - although the dress could be shortened.

Pockets Navy Print Dress
Large flap pockets.  The pocket flaps and collar are doubled but don't seem to have an inter-lining.

Seam and Hem Navy Print Dress
Good photo of the hem and how the seams are finished. The seams are fraying and the previous owner did try to stablize them.
