This charming dress was made in the late 1930's or early 1940's.
Made from sheer cotton it has a teeny Swiss dot print in off-white and is such a classic piece.
A blouson bodice with gathers at the yoke and across the back bodice it has cap sleeves and ric-rac trim and fastens down the left side with a zip.
Would need to be worn with a slip.
