1960's Vintage Elinor Porler Yellow & White Sun Dress - S to M
Could anything be more like sunshine? This early 60s yellow and white sun dress looks and feels very much like a tennis dress. Its light and breathable material and cute lined pattern on the bodice is so reminiscent of those cute athletic outfits! The fabric is some sort of synthetic, though uncertain of kind. The garment features a metal zipper in the back and matching belts. Best fits a Small, possibly a Medium. For reference model is moderns size 4/6.

Measurements :
Bust: 35 inches
Waist Seam (seems ever so slightly dropped): 30 inches ; 28 inches seems more like the natural waist not at the seam)
Hips: somewhat open, but regardless about 42 inches or maximum
Length: 41 inches
Good Vintage Condition- There is some overall wear with a few tiny marks on the piece, the most present were near hem as well as marks on the tips of the tie belt. A few small wear spots/snags found on the fabric here and there. The fabric around the zipper is a bit gathered/creased. An issue from manufacture - at the back of the inside neck area a small portion of the piping was never stitched on, you can see the string just never fed through it. I do not think this will impact its wearability at all. Additionally there is evidence that it may have been let out a tad as there are little micro-holes/spots (noted in last photo) to some areas of the fabric near front darts.
All measurements are approximate as they are taken flat - for garments specifically this means where applicable (bust, waist, hips) has been doubled unless stated otherwise. If you are uncertain about fit and/or need more measurements please ask! If it is provided in the listing, models and/or dress form sizes are used as a point of reference only. Please remember that all bodies are different so always defer to the measurements I provide and check them against your own, preferably on a similar style garment.
