This is an absolutely fabulous dress.
Made in the 1940s, it appears to be a home made piece sewn to a high standard. It features a textured cotton bodice in a warm chocolate brown and a rayon skirt in a bold tropical print in yellow, green, white and brown. A small section of the skirt fabric has been used as trim on the neckline of the bodice and it fastens down the left side with a metal zip.
Please note the listing is for the dress only, the hat and bag are not included in the sale but are available separately.
