Original 1960s Vintage Blue Check Shirt Dress Size 12/14

 

 

A beautifully crisp vintage shirt dress in a striking blue-toned check, blending shades of sky blue, turquoise, soft grey and white in a bold, graphic square pattern. This piece sits right on the cusp of late 50s into early 60s styling, with its structured collar, clean zip-front fastening and softly flared A-line skirt creating that effortlessly polished everyday silhouette the era did so well. The bodice is neatly tailored with short sleeves and a sharp collar, giving it that slightly utilitarian, almost shirtwaist feel, while the self-fabric tie belt allows you to cinch the waist for a more defined, feminine shape or wear it looser for a relaxed fit. The skirt falls into a gentle A-line rather than a full circle, making it incredibly easy to wear day-to-day while still keeping that flattering vintage line. The fabric has a light, breathable feel typical of a poly-cotton blend — smooth and structured without stiffness — making it a practical yet stylish piece that works across seasons. It fastens with a front zip, adding both ease and a subtle retro detail that sets it apart from more traditional button-through styles. A perfect everyday vintage piece that can be styled endlessly — wear with white trainers or sandals for a relaxed modern look, or add a belt, heels and a headscarf for a more classic retro feel. In very good vintage condition with only light signs of wear consistent with age.

    At My Vintage, we take time to carefully measure each item of vintage clothing so that you have the best chance of ensuring a good fit whenever you buy from us. We measure the clothing laid flat as the diagrams show below and for bust, chest, waist and hips we double the measurement. For example, if the waist measures 17" across when laid flat then this would equate to a 34" waist (17 x 2 = 34)

     

    We use the measurements we collate to assign each item of vintage clothing with an approximate modern-day size. For example, a dress with a 34" bust, 28" waist and 34" hips would normally equate to a current UK size 10. The labels on vintage clothing can vary massively depending on country of origin and date of manufacture.  Clothing sizes have changed over the years and from decade to decade we see alternative types of sizing as well as variations on the way measurements equate to dress sizes.

     

    We always recommend that you double-check the measurements of the vintage clothing item you are interested in, ideally by measuring an item of clothing you already own and that fits well, and comparing these measurements. There can be variations due to the desired fit, shape and fabric of an item but our size guidelines are normally very accurate and take the stress out of buying vintage online.
