PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ THE CONDITION SECTION
This is a stunning dress from the very late 1940s. The fabric is taffeta in a greyish green, not sure if the original color was green. She has a beautiful decoration with velvet and glass beads. Superb design with radical puffed shoulders and a beautiful neckline. She closes with side snap-buttons and a matching belt.

Condition: As is! It has several flaws to mention:
- The color of the dress is not uniform, specially on the left shoulder and sleeve the color is lighter there (view photo). This dress was probably green and it was dyed grey or black. Both armpits have dark marks (View photos).
- One stain on the left sleeve (view photo).
- A few tiny spots on the lower front and skirt (not remarkable).
- A green watermark is visible on the lower skirt (view photo).
- The fabric of the buckle shows rust stains (view photo).
