This stunning dress was made in the 1930's from pale pink crepe.
An absolutely beautiful dress, it has three-quarter length sleeves with scallop edged cuffs, fastens with 26 cream coloured plastic buttons, and has fine shirring on the yoke and hip area.
It is a blouson design with wonderful fullness in the body and would look great with a contrast coloured belt.
Please note the dress is pinned on the mannequin.

Condition
Good with the following points to note;
- there are seven self marks on the back skirt - the dress has been washed trice and the marks didn't lift so are likely there to stay
- there is a small darn on the back yoke
- two areas of wear, one of the front right yoke and the other on the front skirt, between the darts
- belt loops but no belt
- has a couple of pinhead marks on close inspection
- the photos show some wear to the shirring but this has been repaired since the photos have been taken
Washed, pressed and ready to wear.
