This classic cotton day dress was made in the 1950's.
It is a button-through design and features classic lines with a smooth fitting bodice, long line skirt and neat collar.
The novelty print design features a repeated stripe design of men, animals and a cart with a geometric stripe between designs.
There is a hook and eye fastener at the waist so to ensure it doesn't gape, you'll need to wear a belt.
