This piece is simple yet stylish in design. It has a close fitting bodice, a waist insert which has a tie back belt attached to it, purple glass buttons and a neat little collar.
The fabric is not showing the true colour. It isn't a flat colour and has strands of brown and a pink, it's much prettier than the photos show.
A wonderfully weighty fabric, it has fabulous drape. There is no side opening so you'll need to fit your bust through the waist measurement.

Condition
Good with points to note.
- there are approximately 21 pinhead holes in the dress - because the fabric isn't one flat colour they aren't too obvious. They could be darned but that would most likely make them more obvious
- there is a 1" mark on the right sleeve - see photo
- there is a repair on the right sleeve where it joins the bodice on the front - see photo
