Just right for play on a hot summer's day, this delightful 1930s style playsuit by Keepers Dolly Duds, is an outfit made for fun times with friends at the park. The 1930s inspired design buttons in the back with three buttons (hook and loop tape or snaps can be used if preferred) and features a smart looking sailor collar that is sewn into the shoulder seams. View A is sleeveless with faced armscyes and flared legs. View B has short puffed sleeves and legs that are gathered with elastic.
