This 1940s dress is beautiful, with all the right details!
The softest woven wool, unique brass buttons, velvet neckline detail, a denim-lined bodice, a sweeping pleated skirt, and a concealed pocket. The material is woven from two very distinct violet and blue hues, that come together to form the leaf pattern but also give the fabric a really wonderful color shift when authentic moving. The bodice and pocket of this dress are both lined in a chambray denim for comfort and durability. The collar is also reinforced with a handmade cotton lace.
The condition is excellent! Only minor flaws, that include: a small abrasion on the chest, some discoloration on the denim lining, and one small (1/16") moth nibble on the skirt, that is hidden in the folds. There is also a line on the back of the skirt (also hard to see) where the original yarns didn't take the color and looks tan - this is a natural occurrence and not damage, but worth mentioning.
Fit for a size 4-6, full measurements are as follows:
Bust - 34"
Waist - 30"
Length - 43"
Shoulders - 16"
Thank you for looking, and please feel free to reach out with questions!
