This neat little dress was made in the 1930's.
Made from medium weight cotton in white, red, blue and yellow it is a wrap-over design with an inside tie - like you'd find in a coat - and buttons running up the left side and onto the shoulder. With ric-rac trimmed neck detail and matching trim on the front placket and cuffs, it is finished off perfectly with two patch pockets.
A great little everyday piece of the era.

Condition
Good with the following points to note;
- two minor marks by the right pocket
- very small repair to the collar
- large stain on the back left skirt, by the hem - please see photo for the stain - it has soaked three times in RetroClean and the stain hasn't come out so it is there to stay
- there is a 1cm line darn in the stained area
