This pretty piece was made in the late 1940's.
A home-sewn piece it is made from brown fine weave cotton with a floral print worked in white, yellow, blue and pink. It has a smooth fitting bodice with gathered yoke detail, cap sleeves and has the original belt. There is no side opening.
A wonderful lightweight piece which is perfect for the summer.

Condition
Washed, pressed and ready to wear with the following points to note;

- main issue is some slight colour change - the change is even and is only really seen when you hold the belt against parts of the dress but because of the busy print it isn't seen as much
