This vintage dress from Diana Dale Classic is a stunning piece from the 1940s (possibly late 1930s). Made of navy blue cotton fabric with a floral pattern in pink/gold/green, it features a peplum around the entire waistline, original metal zipper up the front, and slight A-line skirt with a waist to hem length of 41 inches. The dress is a size L/XL with a chest size of 42 inches and a waist size of 33 inches. The original belt is included.  The photos were lightened so that you could see the details.  This dress is an original piece, not a reproduction, and it has been worn and loved, but still has lots of wear left in it.  There is a small hole at the back waistline (see photo), but could be patched and sits under the belt.  At the back neckline, there are some visible stitches, but this could be mended to be a bit more discreet.   It's perfect for a rockabilly look, WWII look, and is suitable for everyday wear. The shoulder to shoulder measurement is 16 inches and the shoulder to hem length is 59 inches. This dress has been cleaned and is ready to wear.  These cotton dresses from this era are becoming more and more rare....please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about this item.  Painting not included in this auction.
