This gorgeous dress was made in the 1940's.
Made from lightweight crepe in soft grey it has an abstract print in green and black and then dotted around the dress there are pretty cats in white and black.
The dress features a close fitting bodice with a neat stand up collar and fastens down the front with covered buttons. It has a metal side zip and a pleated skirt.
