This exceptional dress was made in the late 1930s / early 1940s from rayon with green, brown and yellow striped on an off white background. The dress was cut in a show stopping floor length style with a sweeping flared skirt. The high neckline highlights the fabulous gathered puff shoulders and shirred details and the dress fastens with five fabric covered buttons at the bust and an original metal side zipper. A wide waistband is delineated using horizontal stripes and the skirt cleverly uses the stripes in a perfectly matched chevron design. 

Bust: 38”

Waist: 34”

Hips: 52”

Length: 57”

 

The dress is in good condition with only a few marks, a popped underarm seam and some untidy stitching as pictured.

This garment is available to purchase with or without dress shields. These clever little contraptions have been made by our seamstress to an original 1940s pattern and can be simply attached to your garment by tack stitching at the corners of the underarm seam, pinning (we wouldn’t recommend that, it hurts if it goes wrong, so if you try this, it is at your own risk only) or inserting tiny poppers. They then stand ready to absorb any sweat and body odours as needed and you can simply detach and launder them instead of your garment, saving you a fortune in dry cleaning bills.

 

They are equally suitable for suits, blazers and dresses and come in two different options:

 

1. Pure cream cotton for your heavier weight dresses, blazers and suits

or

2. White cotton muslin for lightweight summer dresses (so they don’t show through the fabric)

 

They are universally sized and super easy to use even for a sewing novice as only a couple of tiny stitches are required at each side to secure them.

 

We sell Dress Shields as a standalone item or at a discount if you purchase them with a garment. We will select the appropriate type to match the garment you have purchased.
