This 1960's cotton romper features a sleeveless tank top, crew neck torso, a belted drop waist and concealed shorts, made possible with an inverted pleat.
There are two cotton fabrics: the body is a denim blue with contrasting diagonal stripes, and red, white and green thicker horizontal stripes. The second fabric constitutes the interior shorts of the skort and the belt, and is the same background, but with a bright white, green and red flower, it's also a bit more lightweight than the other.
The front has flattering darts at the bust, and the back has shape-enhancing seams as well. It has roomy legs, nice and breezy. There is a long zipper down the back, and a hook eye closure. The belt is not attached, and belt loops are 3" wide.
Condition: Spectacular, little to no visible wear, if you look super close the underarms show some fading.
Makers Mark: None. It's obviously handmade when looking at the interior seams. The seamstress made it very well and knew what they were doing.
