This stylish dress was made in the 1940's.
Cleverly constructed to look like a jacket and skirt it, it is made from wonderful quality linen. The bodice fastens with chunky plastic buttons, has a neat collar, turn up cuffs and pockets. The skirt is smooth fitting with a front split and fastens with a front zip and single hook.
Originally would have been belted but looks fabulous without.
