Sunshine & Rainbows | Vintage 1970s 1980s rainbow stripe and buttons Jersey Tent Popover dress
The story:
The tag on this made us giggle because we love how some of these vintage tags have human names. It makes us think of these vintage cuties as characters.
This one might have been a happy-go-lucky lass with long curly brown hair, a love for singing and the ukelele, having breakfast for dinner and cuddly 5 cats at the same time.
And did you see the long row of buttons at the side? You could always unbutton them all the way and wear it as a tunic. Love how the hem is rounded at one side. Details, people, details!
Pinned?: No.

Bust: Up to 19in (the dress straight from shoulders to bust to waist to hem so we measured the bust from armpit to armpit).
