This petite fitting dress was made in the 1930's.
Made from satin back crepe it is a petite fitting piece. The bodice on the front and back feature horizontal bands of vertical pin-tucks which give a lovely texture. It has slim fitting long sleeves with finely gathered puff sleeves. It has a neat round collar and fastens down the back with teeny covered buttons. There is no side opening and the dress would originally have been cinched in with a belt.
A smart frock which is much better in person than the photographs show.
