Description
Vintage 1930's 1940's WWII era day dress is maxi length with short sleeves and wrap style bodice. It has a shawl collar, one button at the bra/bust area, and two buttons at the waist, and one hip pocket in front. The skirt is A-line style and is wrap style, open to the hem except for a snap that was sewn to keep it shut at some point. I'm not sure if the snap was original to the dress, or sewn on later, but it looks original. I'm not sure what the fabric is, since this was hand made back in the WWII Era, but to me it looks and feels like Rayon. Whatever the fabric, it has nice fit and drape, and the print is a dark navy blue and off white.
Condition is amazing, consistent with age and normal light, gentle use, I didn't find any issues of note. Still in wonderful condition, perfectly wearable, and honestly, I think this classic elegant vintage style could easily be worn today. Whoever owned this dress took very good care of it, and it's a perfect addition to any vintage ladies fashion collection.
