This very special vintage 1960s Donald Brooks dress is an iconic example midcentury fashion. Crafted of black wool, it features baguette-cut gems, which form a trompe l'oeil effect, almost like a harness or vest layered over the dress. The babydoll silhouette is so 1960s— it's fitted through the chest and sleeves, with a slight empire waist, and a built-in petticoat to create volume through the dress's skirt, which is gathered at the waist. The mini length beautifully offsets the fullness. It features a high mock neck, with buttons down the back. 

Donald Brooks founded is eponymous label in 1963, and quickly grew his clientele to include the likes of Jacqueline Kennedy. Aside from designing his ready-to-wear label, he was also an Oscar-winning costume designer.

Measurements: This will best fit a size X-Small and Small depending on height; it's cut with somewhat petite proportions and the model is a bit too tall for where the dress is hitting (at 5'7") but it still works.

Shoulders: 14"

Arm hole depth: about 7.5"

Chest: 32" laid flat, up to 34" pulled taut

"Empire" Waist: 28" (taken from top of "waistband")

Natural waist: 26.5" (taken from bottom of "waistband")

Length: 33.25" from shoulder to hem (2.75" in the hem to be let out if desired)

Sleeves: 20"

Fits really well, not too wide and sleeve length isn’t too short
Size: Medium, Color: Tinted Ice Light Wash
I’m presently surprised at how well this fits. My daughter is about 49” and 43lbs. She’s 8 years old. This jacket fits her well in a size small. It’s not short in the arms (problem I see with Carter’s and Osh gosh at times) and it’s not too baggy or made too wide. It’s slimming and unlike the other review, the material feels very similar to our Osh gosh Jean jacket we got last year. For the price this is a steal. Way better than target’s cat & jack.
