Vintage handmade Orange Paisley barkcloth mini dress with faux choker

This one is a real heartbreaker! It’s also a piece from my closet that I haven’t worn more than twice, so I’m letting it go. 

It appears handmade and the fabric is this vibrant and stunning paisley barkcloth fabric, which makes it machine washable. There is a hidden nylon talon zipper on the back that works great . I would let this dress air dry to preserve the life of that zipper and not have it become work or warped.

The choker is faux and the button on it is merely decorative, as the collar goes on as one piece when the dress is put on. Additionally, the elastic on each sleeve works well and makes it look cute and ruched. It is so well made and the skirt flows in the most elegant way. A lot of thought went into making this little dress by its maker and it really shows in is construction. 

There is no stretch to the fabric.
