This is a dress from the 1940s of a truly outstanding beauty. The fabric is light silk with an amazingly vibrant print with flowers and fabulous birds. We can't image how expensive this fabric should be back on her days, the quality of the print is simply out of this world. She has an exquisite classic 1940s cut with two pockets on the hips. She closes with a back metal zipper. She has no label but she is simply a one-of-a-kind garment!
