Size 4 1940s Summer Dress - Candy Pink & Blue Cotton Chambray - Late 40s Cap Sleeve Frock - Full Skirt - Marion McCoy Label - Waist 25
$ 195.00
Terrific 1940s dress in candy colored two-tone chambray! This 40s cotton summer frock is a pure delight with its special details and very full skirt, and the original cummerbund style belt. Bodice is solid blue with a shirt lapel, cap sleeves, and single pleats at the padded shoulder. Torso has a radiant trio of darts from bust to waist. Attached skirt is extraordinarily full, broader than a full circle, with bold carnival style inserts and curved V point edges to the side pockets. The cummerbund is meant to be asymmetric, cinched at one side in front, with buttons to center back. A charming beauty from new-old stock!
