This is a truly stunning dress from the very late 1940s or early 1950s. This dress comes from a French home and she has an Eclair metal zipper. The fabric is high quality linen in yellow color but depending on the light it goes to greenish/lime. Pictures speak by themselves! Fabulous collar and an amazing front and shoulders design. She closes with front buttons and a side metal zipper. This dress has no label but it is defenitely not homemade and it is an outstanding quality.
