Meet Tabitha, she is an AMAZING and super rare 1970s cotton gingham dream dress by rare label of the time Marion Donaldson. Tabitha speaks for herself, she's understated and classic and truly beautiful. She has been crafted in the most gorgeous natural raw textured cotton, which is just the best for the hot weather. She has a large scale check in navy and white with dark navy ribbon edges. Her silhouette is beautiful, with short puff sleeves, a square neckline, a nipped in waist and a full flowing skirt with a flounce. Tabitha is one of those super wearable versatile 1970s prairie dresses, that will be worn by you forever and ever, I cannot wait to see where she is headed today!

This girl measures to approx UK size 10/12.

Bust - 38"

Waist - 30"

Length -  54.5"

 For reference our mannequin, Norma, measures to a UK 6. 

The Tabitha has been freshly laundered and is ready to wear. She can safely be washed at home on a cool setting. She is in good vintage condition, she has a few minor signs of wear. 

This beauty has minimal signs of vintage wear, but please bear in mind that our pieces are true vintage, they’ve been danced in and they have been lived in, so all of our garments will carry your usual signs of vintage wear. Anything that we think is outside of what would class as usual vintage wear, we will state.

Here at Pansy we know vintage sizes are very different from modern sizes, and we pride ourselves on offering accurate measurements with approximate modern UK sizing to ensure a your Pansy purchases will be a good fit.
Although we do offer approx modern sizing it is also very helpful if you know your own measurements. If you are unsure of these, an easy way of estimating them is measuring one of your own garments, that fits well, laid flat. Measure in inches, across from pit to pit, flat across the waist and double both of these measurements.  Our length measurements are mostly taken from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem.
