Step into a time capsule with this authentic 1970s tabard-style pinafore dress. Crafted from a durable navy blue Dacron polyester blend, this piece features beautiful appliqué floral pockets with intricate yellow embroidery and a charming ditsy floral print inlay. The silhouette is defined by a unique V-shaped yoke with light shirring and functional red button-tab shoulders that add a pop of contrast. This is a classic "house dress" or apron-style garment, perfect for layering over a turtleneck or wearing as a standalone piece. Tag Size: Small 10-12.
This garment carries the ILGWU union label, signifying its American-made heritage during a pivotal era of textile manufacturing. The craftsmanship is evident in the reinforced pockets and decorative piping.
