This is one of my all time Favorite Finds in a dress!! Made by "CAROL ANDERSON, CALIFORNIA", it blends Large deep Pink Hibiscus with Huge Pink & Blue Lilacs together with dual shades of green Leaves & foliage for a Magnificent fabric!! Tags show that it is made of 100% Rayon for a crisp, flowing look. The fabric covered belt and buckle fit into 2, very thin belt loops, one on either side and the 3, bodice buttons are a lovely, marbled White & Clear frost. The shoulder area is pleated, at both front and back and is made to be a "loose" fit. The elastic at the waist is fully encased in the dress fabric for a smooth flow and a slit pocket can be found beneath the waistline, on each side.
The skirt is what could be called a "circle" skirt and has a circumference of 110" AROUND THE HEMLINE! The sleeves are short & "Raglan" style, meaning they flow directly into the bodice, beneath the bust, almost to the waist area, of the dress. This is a gorgeous Garment!!
I would date this to the 1980's, but it is SO reminiscent of the late 1940's with it's wide shoulder look, "swing" or "circle" style skirt and covered belt at the waist. Being a "midi"or MID-CALF length, it elongates the leg, especially when worn with heels. I can remember wearing this style of dress with my very best Ankle strap shoes in the late 70's, so it could date that far back as well.
MEASUREMENTS ARE:
BUST: 38" AROUND, but made to be worn very loosely
TOTAL LENGTH: 44" From Shoulder to bottom of Hemline
This is a stunning garment, perfect to add to your collection, Display, or wardrobe and remember, I'm always HAPPY TO COMBINE your multiple purchases so you save on shipping costs!

I run my Ebay business by myself, which means ONE woman takes the photos, writes the listings, purchases the items and ships them all out. *I ship TWICE WEEKLY, once on TUESDAY and again on FRIDAY. *This tells you that if your item is not paid for by the early evening, on the day PRIOR TO MY SHIPPING DAY, your item will NOT be sent until the next scheduled shipping day. I do my very best to try and ship them earlier, if at all possible, but normally, unless asked for prior to bidding, I don't make more than these days available to ship. If you need rush delivery, PLEASE ASK ABOUT IT, PRIOR to bidding! *Please keep in mind, I cannot control what happens with your package once it leaves my hands. This is why I recommend Insuring EVERY item you purchase.
**REGARDING SHIPPING COSTS: PER EBAY, THE POSTAL CALCULATOR BELOW IS AN ESTIMATE ONLY!!!!! I do my very best to assure my buyers of the least possible expense for postage but I DO NOT box my items prior to selling them so that I have them available for questions. Any handling fees are listed right in the auction descriptions. If ACTUAL POSTAGE COSTS are higher than the calculator estimates, it is the RESPONSIBILITY of the BUYER to PAY THESE COSTS. Thank you.
Insurance is not required for every auction, however, if an item is fragile, or delicate, I will insist it be insured. This protects you as the buyer, as well as myself. It is a very minimal cost to pay for coverage. Buyers may choose from any method of shipping that is available for that PARTICULAR AUCTION. Often, weight restrictions must be taken into consideration. I never force you to choose a shipping method that saves ME time but costs YOU money!
