1960s Purple Daisy Floral Print Button Down Mini Dress
As cute as a button, this vintage dress is straight out of the 1960s. It is a fab, wearable shape with gorgeous buttons down the front. The buttons are nicely made with metal button stands giving it an air of quality. Add a polo-neck and colourful tights in winter for all year round use. I’m getting Orla Kiely vibes from the stylish graphic floral print - it’s easy to see how inspired she is by 1960s originals.
Size 6-10

- Who doesn’t love a mini dress?!
Material 100% cotton
Feels Like A very soft malleable cotton duck
Condition Great vintage condition overall - one small faded paint mark that is lost in the print and some print flaws, which are due to the printing methods used when it was made and add to its charm… who wants things machine perfect?

Buying Vintage
Don’t always believe the label - vintage sizes come up much smaller than modern sizes. To confirm your Vintage Akimbo size and for instructions on how to take your measurements, please check my Size Guide - all you need is a tape measure!
For reference, our model Flo is a UK 6-8 in Vintage Akimbo sizing.
