This classic day dress was made in the late 1940's or early 1950's by Cooks St Pauls.

Made from floppy cotton in a soft blue base it has a bold print in magenta, purple, turquoise and yellow.

The bodice fastens with two decorative purple buttons and there is a pink metal side zip. The bodice and skirt and both quite slim fitting and the dress has neat little cuffs and a smart collar. Would look great cinched at the waist.

 

Measurements

This piece is quite short waisted so is better suited to a smaller bust that the flat measurements suggest as this will gain you a little more bodice length. However, to ensure that it will fit you properly, please compare the measurements below to a similar piece you already own;

Flat bust 19"

Flat waist 15.5"

Flat hip 20"

Shoulders between sleeves 14"

Underarm sleeve length 5.5"

Shoulder to waist 14.5"

Shoulder to hem 41.5" and no hem to let down

 

Condition

Good with some points to note;

  • there is a stain on the top of the right shoulder - the dress has been washed and the stain lessened slightly so it may come out with proper stain treatment but even if it doesn't it isn't too noticeable
  • there are three small old darns in the skirt plus two stick on repairs
  • seven pinhead holes in the skirt which are seen when it is held up to the light
  • there is a 1" by 3" patch on the hem, but I only spotted this while pressing the dress
  • belt loops but no belt

Has been washed, pressed and is ready to wear
