A scalloped, ruffled sweetheart neckline, thin self-fabric spaghetti straps, elasticized waist, and self-tie sash belt combine for a silhouette that is effortlessly feminine and endlessly flattering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe interior is just as thoughtfully constructed as the outside: built-in molded bra cups with an adjustable hook-and-eye band offer real support, a hallmark of quality resort dressing from this era. The full, slightly A-line skirt hits at a lovely midi length, swishy and voluminous in that way that only good cotton achieves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetails\u003cbr\u003eBrand: Malia of Honolulu\u003cbr\u003eEra: Late 1970s–early 1980s\u003cbr\u003eColor: Teal with purple, lavender \u0026amp; white floral print\u003cbr\u003eFabric: 100% Cotton\u003cbr\u003eLabel size: 12 — fits like a modern US 6–8\u003cbr\u003ePit to pit: 18.5\" (37\" bust)\u003cbr\u003eShoulder to hem: 44\" (midi length)\u003cbr\u003eScalloped ruffled sweetheart neckline\u003cbr\u003eBuilt-in molded bra cups with adjustable band\u003cbr\u003eElasticized waist, self-tie sash belt\u003cbr\u003eCare: Machine wash warm, tumble dry, cool iron\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very good vintage.
