This dress is a one of a kind novelty print of pink gingham and electric puffed French poodles in wonderful breathable cotton. Great attention to detail has been paid with the full circle skirt, low cut, deep scoop ruffle neckline, 9 inch Joy metal side zipper on the left side and a nice deep pocket on the right side. This dress has no manufacturer's label or size label.

The poodles are a bubble gum pink and the gingham is very light pink and white. Remember that colors can look different on different monitors.

There are rises in the weave in two separate locations in the fabric. These are not flaws.  One is a 1/2 inch woven rise in the fabric located on the left side of the dress 14 1/2 inches below the bottom of the zipper and a 1 inch woven rise directly next to the right breast dart. These are woven rises in the fabric.  There are no rips, stains or tears.  This is a truly wonderful example of a classic vintage sexy summer sun dress.

The dress is displayed with two crinolines underneath it and they are not included in the auction.
