This pretty piece was made in the late 1940's or early 1950's.
A pale blue cotton with paisley print in yellow and white, it features a smooth fitting bodice with a square neckline and narrow collar. The panelled skirt is hip skimming and it fastens with a metal zip. Finished off perfectly with a wide belt with a grey buckle.
Measurements
The dress will best fit a 40-32-42 but to ensure it will fit you properly, please compare the measurements below to a similar piece you already own;
Flat bust 21"
Flat waist 16.5"
Flat hip 22"
Shoulders between sleeves 16"
Underarm sleeve length 3"
Flat cuff 6.5"
Shoulder to waist 14.5"
Shoulder to hem 40" with no hem allowance
Circumference of skirt at hem 80"
Belt has no fastenings or eyelets so you'll need to add a popper for the size you need.
Condition is good with the following points to note;
- there are a few faint marks, but these are lost within the print
- a 1cm area of wear on the underarm of the left sleeves
- someone has let two darts out at the bust and the stitch marks are still visible
Washed, pressed and ready to wear
