Vintage 50s Hope Reed Green Polka Dot Cotton Dress Nelly Don Short Sleeve

This authentic mid-century day dress by Hope Reed features a vibrant green and white polka dot print accented by horizontal striped panels at the waist and hem. The silhouette is a classic 1950s fit-and-flare, w/a nipped-in waist, a pleated full skirt, and button down chest. There is a small, fold down collar and short sleeves to complete the look. Closes with s a side metal zipper. A very playful mix of patterns. Unlined.

Label: Hope Reed Classic (As a sub-brand of the legendary Donnelly Garment Company founded by Nell "Nelly Don" Reed, this piece carries a significant fashion pedigree. The dress is crafted from high-quality Everfast fabric, guaranteed to be colorfast and durable)
Fabric: no tag / feels like a cotton or a cotton and rayon blend
Size tag: / fits like a modern US ladies XS due to the narrow waist / see exact measurements below to ensure fit
Condition: Good and more than wearable but with a few small issues that you have to hunt for. The interior of the collar, a bit above the label shows a small yellow stain. There is also (very) faint discoloration at the underarms. I also spotted a white repair stitch perhaps at the collarbones (see last pic). It is symmetrical on both sides so looks very intentional and blends in with the design quite well. Priced accordingly.

Shoulders 14"
Sleeves 9"
Chest 36"
Waist 24"
Hips 35"
Length 40"

REFUND POLICY: I do not refund based on issues of fit and size. Please check the measurements above carefully and compare the with a similar item you own that fits you the way you like. If you have any concerns, please send me a message. I love answering your questions!
