Beautiful early 1930s dress and jacket set in soft blue and white cotton.
I bought this set from a lady in Wiveton, Norfolk. She told me that it had originally belonged to her mother, and that the dress had started life with long sleeves. Her mother was a very petite lady and when she no longer wanted to wear the set she has passed it on to her daughter, but the daugher was not quite as petite so the sleeves had to be removed to make the dress wearable.

Condition
Very good condition with a couple of minor points to note;
- a few small rust marks,, I have washed the set and they haven't come out so are there to stay
-the dress is lighter than the jacket so was obviously worn and washed more often
