This is a one-of-a-kind 1950s novelty dress by Monti, Italy. The fabric is a top quality plaid cotton in white, pink and pastel green with a hand drawn novelty print. She has an adorable collar and a perfectly made bodice with vertical seams. She closes with two super cool ceramic buttons and a side metal zipper. The skirt is lined with smoked cotton. What a garment!
