A wonderfully stylish vintage 1940s dress, hand made from a medium to heavy weight slightly fleecy wool fabric in a seafoam green colour. The cut is very unusual, with delightful pointed pocket details, a high roll neck with a self-covered button to fasten the back, short sleeves with turn-back cuffs, & slightly A-line skirt with a generous pleat at the front. The side fastens with a painted metal 'Crown' zip, & there is a matching belt with self-covered buckle.
Please study the photographs carefully - they form an important part of the description.
