1940s Printed silk day dress - Small
Tax included.
A chic early 1940s day dress, in crinkle texture lightweight silk georgette, printed with repeated motif in aqua green and off-white, against charcoal/pale black (almost resembling Gingko Biloba leaves!). With semi fitted bodice featuring gathers in a ‘V’ to flat central panel, skirt is gored in panels for gentle fulness, and fastens to the side with popstuds. Home made to a good standard, unlined.
14” between shoulder seams
Chest of garment 36”
Waist 30”
Hip 36” pulling out to 40” but only meant to skim the hip
Mid shoulder to waist 14.5”, Skirt length 25.5”
Sleeve length from shoulder 18”
Excellent condition, I suspect the fabric may have started life a richer black, but the colour is not uneven.
