Description: Original 1960s pinafore dress by “ Monsanto” in black polyamide (lurex) with silver pinstripes. There is a zip opening at the front. The fabric has some natural stretch. The dress falls just below the knee. PLEASE NOTE: The bust is quite generous. The dress was not pinned to model it. It was however too wie under the arms Made in UNITED KINGDOM A bit of history…. This dress was purchased as part of the extensive wardrobe belonging to an astute woman of fashion (I call her Leopard Lady as she loved leopard print) who lived to 100 years. Her daughter informed me that up until the age of 70 she always wore heels, hats and a handbag and was recognized and admired in her local high street in the Midlands. She was a statuesque 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm) and her items are marked between size 18 - 20. By today’s standards, the clothes often come up smaller and I therefore mention the modern day size alongside any marked size. The collection purchased includes coats, blouses, dresses, bags, hats (Large fit) and shoes (Fit 39 / UK 6) which will be listed for sale. A series of related ‘fashion shoot’ style posts are appearing on the Marshmallowvintage Instagram. This dress has been featured. The size label is nolonger visible.
