Last year we purchased a houseful of clothing that belonged to a woman who bought clothing by the armful, at sample sales and end of season sales, from the 1940s through the 1970s. It's not high-end couture, but rather, a vast collection of the fashions worn by everyday women during these decades--beautiful dresses, cute blouses, suits, skirts, and hats. She never threw out a thing. This garment is from her enormous wardrobe, and I will continue to offer the best picks from this incredible find in the shop.
*No labels remaining in this garment
*Dress is cotton or a cotton blend; pearlescent pale yellow plastic buttons
*Shirtwaist-style button-up bodice; button and loop at collar; Peter Pan collar; darts at bust and bodice; threaded belt loop; matching fabric belt; full, pleated skirt
*Front and side photos show dress with a crinoline; dress does not come with crinoline
*Two tiny, faint marks to the dress at the right shoulder, and the back center waist just below the waist hem--see pics
