This is a stunning dress from the 1940s. The fabric is soft wool in a beautiful pale yellow color with super thin black stripes. The design and shape are simply amazing, from the beautiful collar closing with back loop buttons to the cuffed bat sleeves and of course the precious pleated design on the side on the right hip. She closes with a side metal zipper. This dress has no label but it is not homemade.

Condition: Fabulous condition! We've just notice a super tiny spot on the front (view photo). And one small fixing of a hole to teh side skirt and one small stain close to it (view photo), these are in the pleats area of the skirt and not super obvious when worn. Three tiny greyish spots on the right armpit (view photo), really not remarkable. The dress is clean and ready to wear!
