This coral vintage dress pairs a clean 1960s silhouette with scalloped lace at the
collar, sleeves and raised waist. The warm coral color does most of the work; a 
pale lime ribbon at the waist adds a small, unexpected contrast.

## Details of this coral vintage dress

 * High neckline with scalloped lace trim
 * Elbow-length sleeves and an empire waist
 * Gently shaped, slightly A-line skirt
 * Zip closure
 * Textured woven fabric

The skirt sits above the knee on the model shown.

## Fit and sizing

Modern size US 2 / XS. The model wears a modern US 0–2, and the dress was photographed
without clipping at the back.

For the closest comparison, [ask us for the dress’s bust, waist, hip and length measurements](https://shopquirkla.com/contact-us/)
before ordering. Compare those measurements with a similar dress you already own.

## Condition

Very good vintage condition. Minor sun bleaching is present on the shoulders. Dry
clean only.

## Styling

Low metallic sandals bring out the easy side of the shape; a pointed pump and compact
clutch make it a considered choice for a daytime wedding or dinner. Keep accessories
spare to let the scalloped trim show.
