Late 1970s / early 1980s vintage Clothkits ticking stripe dungaree style pinafore dress

From my old favourite, Clothkits. Thought it would be great for a pattern but obviously have completely failed in that regard!

Semi sheer (think school shirts!) pinafore style. Racer back shape to rear straps / bodice. Fairly straight skirt with two large front patch pockets. I think it’s a cotton blend? It’s lightweight.

Hand sewn from kit form, neatly done. I assume they’ve sewn the clothkits label into the front as double faced there, so doesn’t show.

Measures:

Approx modern uk 10 or would also fit smaller (shown on slim UK8 mannequin)

From shoulder line to bottom of armhole 13” approx

Bust is fairly free sized, hits just below 37” - could adjust straps.

Hips 40”

Shoulder to hem approx 45”

Condition:

No damage, clean and ready to wear.

The dungaree type straps to front have been tacked in place (which is quite low on my mannequin) but you could easily snip free and adjust to suit. I think they’ve just been stitched to stop them coming undone as quite smooth fabric.

It had been folded and stored after what appears to be minimal wear, as can’t really see any signs of use. There were some faint storage lines where it had been folded (photos show pre-washing!) I’ve since washed again - safe in a machine on gentle cycle, or hot hand wash - and they’ve all but gone now so should hopefully not be an issue but wanted to mention!
