1940s Hand embroidered linen dress - Large
Tax included.
A sweet 1940s European day dress in natural white linen, slipping over the head with no fastenings aside from back neck button. Only gently fitted, but doesn’t look amiss with a belt to draw in the waist, with darting detail to front bodice. Lightly gathered shoulders for slight puffed sleeve. Sleeve, front bodice, and lower skirt are hand embroidered folk-style in shades of blue.
