This is a stunning 1940s dress in a rich, vibrant lilac wool, featuring a wonderfully elegant silhouette and charming decorative details.
Designed with a distinctive raised V-neck collar, long sleeves, a gently fitted waist and a softly flowing skirt. Delicate wavy embroidery in a contrasting golden-brown thread decorates the neckline, chest, shoulders, back and front pockets, adding a lovely touch of character.
Complete with its original matching belt and an elegant gold-tone buckle. Side metal zipper fastening.
A beautiful example of 1940s fashion, combining understated elegance with playful detailing.
