A vintage late 1940s or early 1950s dress, home made from what feels like rayon or wool/rayon blend textured weave crepe in a dusky pink colour. It has a fitted dolman bodice, key-hole neckline with square collar, and a slim skirt with angled waist darts. It fastens at the side with a painted pink metal 'Crown' zip and a hook & eye at the neck.
NB: The belt shown is NOT included & is not for sale.

Condition: In very good condition overall - there is a small hole to the back left shoulder, slight wear around the neck fastening, and very subtle discolouration to the armpits (see close ups). The collar has been tacked rather than machine stitched on, presumably so it could more easily removed for laundering. Has been carefully hand washed & steamed prior to listing.
I have a no returns policy - please check the above measurements and compare to a similar garment of your own before buying - no refund offered for items that don’t fit.
