This fabulous piece was made in the 1920's.
It appears to be a home sewn piece, with not every seam executed to the highest standard, and is made from close weave lightweight cotton which has varying width stripes in orange, black and white and is finished off perfectly with a neat little section of lace at the neck. It even has the laundry label in the back neck.
A typical design of the time, it is loose fitting and is just perfect for summer.
Measurements
The dress will comfortably fit up to a 46" bust. Please remember it is not meant to be close fitting so although the flat measurements make it appear that the dress will fit larger, it really is best for a 46" bust maximum. However, to ensure that it will fit you properly, please compare the measurements below to a similar piece you already own;
Flat bust 25"
Flat waist 27"
Flat hip 33"
Shoulder to hem 41.5"
Shoulders from outer edge to outer edge 19"
Circumference of dress at hem 100"
Condition
Very good. Has been washed, pressed and is ready to wear with the following minor points to note;
- two faint dark marks on the front body near the left waist
- a cluster of 6 pinhead holes in the back skirt near the hem
- very slight discolouration/fade to the shoulders
