This piece is NOT in great condition and is very much wounded but wearable. If you are looking for perfection then this piece isn't for you. Please check the condition carefully to ensure that you are happy with the issues.
Made in the 1940's, this charming piece carries the CC41 label in the back neck.
Some smart detailing on the bodice, a pleated skirt and neat short sleeves, it is trimmed with soutache and has a contrast collar in brown.

Condition
Structurally it is in good condition with just a couple of areas of seam stress. However, there is a significant amount of colour fade as the dress has been dyed - as you can see from the CC41 label no longer being white
- there is a spot on the right bodice - see photo
- belt loops but no belt
- slight mark about 2" up from the hem where it must have been turned up at some point and then let down.
Has been washed, pressed and is ready to wear.
