This classic wiggle dress was made in the 1950's from a cotton rayon mix in grey.
It has a close fitting design with three-quarter length sleeves, seaming detail down the side bodice, pockets, a contrast collar in black and a simple tie at the neck. It fastens down the back with a long metal zip.
A great wardrobe staple for a vintage lover.
