Made from an amazing early rayon jersey that is cut on the bias so has a touch of stretch to it, this dress is just wonderful. It appears to have been stored properly for all these years as the color is as crisp and vibrant as the day it was made! The design is stunning. A beautiful floral design is done in a brilliant combination of pink and yellow. Its an unusual color combination for this time period and really something special. The cut is simple and sweet with a dipped neckline and soft gathered pleating along each shoulder. The waist nips in with attached ties  that you can use to cinch it in further. There is a curved panel of fabric on each side that is built in for a suggestion of a hip peplum without any of the bulk that a true on would give you. The skirt is cut swing style and gently curves away from the more fitted hip area. The front has a row of three large early plastic buttons that look like twisted licorice and are fabulous. Really a spectacular and special piece. Presents as excellent condition.

Unlined and closes with a side metal zipper. There is slight color run near the seam under each arm but it does not show when on and does not detract at all because of the print.

Shoulders: 14.5"
Bust: 16-17" flat across from side seam to side seam
Waist: 13-15" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: to 20" flat across from side seam to side seam
Bodice: 16.5" from top of bodice to waist
Skirt: 25.5" from waist to hem

Modern Sizing Equivalent: XS-SML

Nice watch
Color: Purple/Silver-Tone, Color: Purple/Silver-Tone
Decent brand. Decently priced and nice size. Fits my wrist with no issues. Well made. The band does not look like it can be changed out but that is not an issue. Purple & chrome 33mm resin case with magenta accents; acrylic lens; gray digital display; Indiglo light-up watch dial, is the listing for what is is made from. It was easy to set up with all the necessary information. Will make a nice work watch. Decent brightness wehn hitting the button to light it up. The numbers light up nicely.

Large time, date, and day of the week, with indiglo too! But band doesn't hold up.
Color: Pink/Rose Gold-Tone, Color: Pink/Rose Gold-Tone
I am used to keeping my watch on all the time, so always buy “water resistant” ones. This one seems to be holding up well to using in the shower, but time will tell — I’ve only had it a month and a half so far. [My last 3 (one a Casio; two different Timexes) stopped working after a year or two, and either you couldn’t change the battery or it didn't help for long.] It’s not overly big / i.e. feminine enough, yet easy to read with my older eyes. I like the rose gold, fleshy pink color, and the strap works great - no links to remove or stretch to find difficult to get over my fist, and it doesn’t roll so much to my pinky side that I can’t see it when I rotate my wrist to see the time or date (like my last . The indiglo works well too. I’m very happy with it! I will update my review if it doesn’t last long. Update: I love this watch, as it matches my skin color pretty well (which makes it less obtrusive) and is waterproof. I've gone through two of them now, though. Each only lasted 9 months, but the watches themselves were still working. I was doing chores involved with taking care of my goats, and ripped the area where the watchband attaches to the watch, and unfortunately, that rip keeps the pin from securing. Nevertheless, I might buy one again. My husband says it's the nicest one I've had and is okay with buying a new one every 9 months. Picture of the small rip on the right side.

Nice Simple Watch
Color: Pink/Rose Gold-Tone, Color: Pink/Rose Gold-Tone
Nice simple watch. Bought it for my 11-year-old daughter so she can keep time while running. Her wrist is 5 inches, and the watch tightens up enough on her wrist for a decent fit. She is able to use the watch easily. Note, no directions on how to set up, but I as able to figure it out. Recommend 5 stars.
