1960s Made in New Zealand Floral Patterned Black Rust Gold Knee-Length Evening-Dress DressI was stopped in my tracks when I saw this dress. Love the front boat neck style and v shaped neckline in the back. The print and pattern is so so pretty. The dress is overall in excellent vintage condition. It's a true stunner. I would call this a size Medium. I'm typically a small with a small bust. I have it pinned back about 2 inches in the waist. As you can see it is also a bit loose overall on me. If I were keeping this I would have it taken in

I was stopped in my tracks when I saw this dress. Love the front boat-neck style and v-shaped neckline in the back. The print and pattern is so so pretty. The dress is overall in excellent vintage condition. It's a true stunner. 

I would call this a size Medium. I'm typically a small with a small bust. I have it pinned back about 2 inches in the waist. As you can see it is also a bit loose overall on me. If I were keeping this I would have it taken in to a point where there is still around an inch of movement around the upper body, sleeves and waist. It is not mean to sit super tight. There is no stretch in the fabric. I would say you would want this to skim the body.
