Original Vintage 1940s Shirtwaister Dress.
Lovely 1940s slub silk dress. The dress looks to have been dyed at some point. The label shows a sign of dye. Versatiler by Carol Crawford. The dress was originally sold as 40s. However, it could be mid to early 50s
The dress has 2 pockets within the skirt. The buttons from the waist down are covered under a plaque. There is a small tear at the bottom button (photo attached), and the next button-up has come away, although this button is present.
Beautiful little dress, ideal for the summer months. It has been in my collection for a number of years. It needs to be loved by someone else.
There looks to be slight fade to the colour, but it's not really clear and could just be light.
I can not see any other faults to the dress
