This pretty cotton day dress was made in the 1950's.
With a bold check design in mottled blue, it has black crosses which have been made to look like stitches holding the squares together. It has three-quarter length sleeves, a button bodice, neat double collar and cuffs and is finished off perfectly with the original belt.
