This pretty day dress with faux bolero detail was made in the 1930's.
Made from medium weight textured crepe the fabric has a wonderful weight to it which makes it hang beautifully. The bodice is quite full and features a v-neck, bound with green cotton binding. The skirt is hip skimming and has some vertical seaming detail and the piece is finished off perfectly with a wide belt which fastens with a green double buckle.
