They donned men's clothing and went to "men's" jobs to support the war effort. No wonder, then, that when the war was over French fashion designers of the stature of Christian Dior and others determined to bring femininity back to the woman's wardrobe. They enlisted the humble polka-dot to bring gaiety back to women's attire and sprinkled polka dots throughout their collections. Back in America, the likes of Lucille Ball, Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe took up the charge and were pleased to model the changes. Then along came the hit song "It Was An Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weenie Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini"---and a trend was born which stayed with us throughout the 1950s and into the 1960s.  This charming 60s square scarf can brighten any outfit in streetwear or on stage! Made by Lestire, it can be used to accessorize street or theatrical clothing. (It does read well from stage!) Cleaning: Although it can be hand washed, I would suggest dry cleaning to keep its bright colors. It has been dry cleaned and is ready for use. Condition: Pre-owned - Good.
