This dress is so pink, but it has a coral tint and is not at all fluorescent. Featuring a v-neck, super wide lapels (5 inch at widest!) and cuffs, string belt loops and an attached belt, this is a VERY groovy 1970's dress. There are no buttons, snaps, zippers, or pockets. The seams are all wonderfully done, and it's a well-made piece.
I'd wear this closed or open. I was also tempted to chop off the bottom and make it a knee length shirtdress or mini dress. Many possibilities!
The fabric is a poly blend but, pretty soft. GREAT weight, none of your bumps are gonna show with this forgiving, flattering fabric.
Condition: Wonderful! Great for its age. Professionally hemmed. This is from my personal collection, I wore it once and had it taken up after that.
Makers Mark: Tags in tact.

Everything from My Home on Mars has been professionally cleaned and restored, and ships with a care sheet specific to the material and time period of each piece. Most things require no special maintenance, but a simple list of "do's and don'ts" ensures your item maintains its condition for years to come.
In addition to being a vintage dealer, I am a USPAP-compliant personal property appraiser. Part of that job, separate from this one, is determining the value and authenticity of every piece I examine. I'm proud to bring that high standard of ethics, expertise, and research skills to My Home on Mars, allowing peace of mind for all my customers.
