This piece has been much loved and much repaired. It has darns and wear but still has some life left in it in the hands of a true vintage lover who can overlook the issues.
Made in the 1930's, this neat little bias cut day dress is made from brown and burgundy stripe crepe. The dress has been carefully constructed to make the most of the stripes and created chevrons with the various panels. It has wonderful sleeve detail with super close fitting lower sleeves which fasten with a little popper.
No openings but this is bias cut and has quite a lot of stretch which makes getting into it a little easier.
