Fruit of the Loom has made casual wear and undergarments since 1851. Their mid-century house dresses, known as "Hooverettes," are highly collectible and a pleasure to wear.

Fiber/Care: no tags, cotton, washable

Condition: still looks bright and clean, but there is fading at the upper back. it also looks as if the original owner may have rearranged the ties to tie at the side, rather than in back, but we can't be sure. we added an interior grosgrain ribbon waist tie.

*This dress is freshly laundered and ready to wear.*
