This 1960s orange floral dress is sweet, cute, and flirty! You’ll catch a lot of attention in this fabulous, groovy print!

And this is a wonderful plus-sized vintage dress! This sweetie pie will fit around a modern US size 18, but the fabric provides stretch, so it could fit up to a 20 to 22, depending upon your preferred fit. Measurements, taken flat, are:

B: 22″

W: 21″

H: 22:

L: 38″ shoulder to hem

What I love about this 1960s orange floral print dress is the absolutely fabulous psychedelic print. It’s just one example of these wild patterns frequently seen in 60s fashion. Have you ever wondered why psychedelia was so popular in the 60s? Love to Know breaks it down pretty well, and the answer, kids, is drugs!

That’s right! LSD, also known as acid, had a huge impact not only on fashion but art and other media. I like to think of this dress as someone’s wild little acid trip in fabric form. This fabric bends reality, and this seems to be an extension of that hallucinogenic experience LSD provided those who partook of the drug.

Psychedelic prints went out of fashion by the early 70s, but you can still find plenty of cool prints well into the 70s and beyond. This funky cool shirt in the shop is an example!
