Made in the late 1940's or early 1950's, this classic salmon pink day dress is a great little wardrobe staple.
It has a slim fitting bodice which fastens with three decorative glass buttons. The skirt is made up of four panels and the piece is made of crepe which has a wonderful drape. There is a metal side zip and neat little turn back cuffs.
Measurements

Flat bust 20"

Flat cuff 5.25"

Condition
Good with some points to note;
- the centre front seam in the skirt has been re-sewn and its a bit messy
- minor underarm wear
- a few self marks
- zip has been poorly sewn in and is hand stitched in places but is secure and functions well
- there are 3 pinhead holes but darning them will make them even more visible than they already are
Even with the above issues is a charming piece.
