Elegant vintage 1940s art deco day dress in amber yellow rayon fabric. Joan Crawford-chic with openwork design to the short sleeves and the rounded neckline. Shoulder pads for that classic forties silhouette, with lovely bow detail with knotted bobbles at the centre neckline.,
Five decorative covered buttons to the front of the dress, with fitted nipped waist and original belt with matching celluloid slide buckle.
Lovely ruched detailing to the waist each side of the button placket, and peplum detail to the front hips. Flared skirt. Buttoned fastening to the side waist.
- best fit approx a modern UK 12
- measures 44" long down the centre back
- 17.5" across the shoulders
- 11" sleeves

In very nice vintage shape for its age. A few faint marks on very close inspection, and one tiny pinhead-sized hole to the centre back bodice. Otherwise fab!
