This pretty little day dress was made in the 1940's.
Clearly a home sewn piece, some of the pieces of fabric have been pieced to be able to make the pattern pieces. It features a popper bodice, the buttons are for decoration only, and a popper side placket. It has a neat collar small cuffs and while it hasn't been sewn to the highest standard, the pattern and fabric drape are fabulous and it's still a sweet little piece.
