Description
Made entirely of polyester, this short, printed dress features an elongated "Peter Pan" collar, popular in children’s and young adult fashions throughout most of the 20th century. This mini dress is indicative of 1960s and 70s fashions, easily paired with the era’s chunky shoes, knee high socks or colorful tights.In the 1960s, teenage fashion flooded the market, catering to a new generation seeking to dress vastly different from their parents, and in sharp contrast to the previous decade’s poodle skirts and bobby socks.
