FABRIC/COLORS: A wonderfully bold large scale printed plaid in vibrant yellow, dark red, and light orange with a bit of white and cobalt blue. The fabric is a sturdy cotton.

CLOSURES: The dress completely opens and closes in front with nine large white plastic buttons. A self-fabric sash ties at the waist.

CONDITION: There was a small hole - about 1 x 1/4" - hole in the fabric of the collar at the back of the neck. I refolded a small section of seam and hand stitched - see before and after closeups.
