I love this T-Back vintage dress in a beautiful summer deep rich coral shade called Coral Reef.

It is out of a heavier than cotton Jaquard fabric which is in a beautiful color. The fabric is a heavier blend of linen and cotton and is lovely. I do not see this type of fabric in modern days clothes unfortunately. Most manufacturers use cotton fabric because it is cheap and easy to get. A simple explanation of what jaquard design is is the following: " a fabric of intricate variegated weave or pattern" in which the design is woven into the fabric rather than printed which makes for a longer lasting print that does not fade and is richer in color than fabric which are not woven. My thanks for this information from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary Thesaurus.

This is an expensive fabric and similar to the type that are in vintage A.J. Bari dresses from the 1970s. It is not the lightweight cotton that is in most dresses sold at stores nowadays which feels cheap and flimsy once you are familiar to expensive fabrics. There is a very subtle floral print in the background.

Four bright gold textured metal buttons in front on the set-in cummerbund waistline. The dress is completely lined with matching coral silky lining except for the back of the cummerbund. Very full skirt.
Two pocket in skirt in side seam. I love the T-back on this dress and it is perfect for summer!

Watch all the heads turn when you walk in wearing this knockout vintage halter party dress in Coral Reef

By: Branka Klarige
Size: 6 but this is vintage sizing so go by the measurements instead of the Size tag
Approximate Measurements – This means the measurements of the item listed – not of your own figure. You must be a few inches smaller than the measurements shown.
Bust: 32 - 33
Waist: 30 with no stretch but the buttons could be moved over to add more inches to waist as there is some room there so the buttons could be moved.
Length: Measured from top back below the collar to end of skirt 47
Fabric: 50% Linen and 50% cotton
Care: Dry clean
Condition: Very good with some imperfections. There is a large dark spot opn the righthand shoulder area (1" x 2"). (4th from the end photo) I do not know if it would come out or not but I tried pinning the collar down in that area and it does hide the spot with only the tiniest tip of it showing. (3rd from the last photo) I would suggest tacking it down rather than pinning it but I will leave that up to the new owner to decide what they want to do. A couple of the buttons are pinned to the dress inside and sewing them on is an easy fix. The buttonholes thread binding around them is gone and that is an easy fix for either the new owner or the cleaner. (next to last photo)

The dress would normally be price at $250 but I have made lowered the price because of the imperfections.

Care Instructions

We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be new, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. I will always state in the description if there are any imperfections & I never do repairs but leave them to others who are better able to do them than me as that is not my expertise.

Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use or wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing or using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.

Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, then rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.

Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I definitely would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.

The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements as there is no return on clothing or other items.

I wouldn’t recommend this for strong chewers.
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
Is it fun? Sure. Was it easy to charge and set up? Yep. That being said, this toy kind of fell flat for me. It really didn’t do any big movements once charged that I expected it to, so that was a bummer. I initially got it for my dog, but my cats were more interested in this than my dog was. The battery does seem to last a long time and the motor is pretty quiet. I WOULD NOT recommend this toy for strong chewers as the material for this is a foam rubber and I don’t think it’s durable enough for strong chewers. While the material makes this ball extremely lightweight for more movement, a strong chewer would have this disintegrated in five minutes flat. My Dog is a super strong chewer. I don’t think I would feel comfortable leaving him unattended with this because I know he would destroy it.

Well-designed and quiet, but didn’t keep my dog interested
Color: Blue
My dog was interested in this at first, but she would lose interest after a few minutes and move on. I do like that it’s quieter than the hard plastic ball toys, and the charge lasts well. The internal charging port that twists closed is also a nice design feature. That said, it will occasionally turn on by itself, which can be a little surprising. Overall, it has some nice features, but it just didn’t keep my dog engaged.

Good - for a few hours
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
Concept is fantastic. Dog loved it. Problem is that she figured out how to open it within two hours of play. The robot core, alas, did not survive. In the photo, you see a tooth went cleanly into the button and that was the end of the toy.

The most engaging interactive toy for my Border Collie
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
My Border Collie is not a big ball player. He prefers tug type games and actually gives me a look like, “Are you stupid? I’m not going to keep bringing that to you if all you’re going to do is throw it away again!” after about the third time I throw a ball for him to fetch. However, I can only play tug so often and I need him to be entertained and engaged as much as possible. I got him a smaller, non-padded ball like this hoping he would like the interactive aspect of it. He did- he actually loved it! But it was loud, hard on his teeth, would come apart periodically, and he kept hitting the off button when playing with it. It drove me crazy. This one is so much better overall! The soft outer shell is not only easier on his teeth, but it is super resilient to biting and chewing. He actually likes to carry this thing around in his mouth while it’s bouncing and vibrating. The three modes give great flexibility for different kinds of play. His favorite is the most active mode: the ball reacts to touch and practically bounces itself across the floor when he touches it with his paw or mouth. I will point out that in one of the modes, I thought the battery wasn’t charged or there was a motor issue because it’s very subdued movement; however, it’s just set up as a low-key option. Be sure to check out each mode to see which works best for your dog at different times. I can’t say enough about this ball- I have been so pleasantly surprised by how much he loves it. The rechargeable feature is super convenient, it’s big enough to not get stuck under the couch, and it automatically shuts off based on whichever mode it’s set on. As the owner of a busy, super-smart dog who needs to be engaged in mental and physical activity, I think this all is worth every penny. In fact, I’m buying one for a friend who has a Border Collie pup with lots of energy to burn! I highly recommend this toy- it’s the most engaging toy I’ve found that Finn will play with on his own.
