1940s Red White And Blue Spotted Day Dress

Crisp Cotton 1940s Day Dress In Red White And Blue

⸻

A classic 1940s cotton dress in a fresh and patriotic palette of navy, white, and red. Made from crisp, medium-weight cotton with a delightful white polka dot print, this charming shirtwaister is handmade but barely worn — so much so that it remains in near deadstock condition. The cut is beautifully simple yet flattering, featuring short puffed sleeves, bold contrast trims, and large white buttons marching down the front. A matching attached fabric tie belt cinches the waist, allowing you to style the silhouette to your liking. Generously volup in size, this is a rare combination of condition, cut, and comfort.
