This classic 1940's day dress is made from navy blue crepe with a pretty floral print in pink, purple, yellow and green.
It features long sleeves, with popper cuffs, has shirring on the yoke, has a deep v-neck and vertical pin-tucks at the waist. It appears to be a home sewn piece and doesn't have a side opening so please be aware of this when factoring whether it'll fit or not. Shown pinned to the mannequin but would look great belted.
Please note the final two photographs show how it looks without being pinned.

Condition
It has been washed, pressed and is ready to wear but please note;
- there is some seam stress on the waist tucks, but because of the dark fabric they are only seen on close inspection
- when held up to the light you can see that there used to be more rows of tucks at the waist so I assume they were let out to give a little more waist room
