Vintage 1960s fit & flare mini babydoll dress by iconic designer Donald Brooks, known for helping to create the "American Looks" in the 50s and 60s. Made of a medium-weight black and white quilted fabric, it has black buttons up the front of the bodice with a snap below them, a high collar, and a matching tie at the waist. Probably originally junior size, but can also fit a petite woman - see measurements below.
