This is a truly exquisite dress from the mid 1940s. The fabric is super lightweight pure silk in a precious Iceberg blue with beautiful leaves print. She has a stunning front and sides design with two straps to adjust the waist on the back. Delicious gathering on the sleeves. She closes with snap-buttons on the back.
