Original 1940s 40s Vintage Copper Satin Dress By Form Fit Dresses New York

This stunning dress was made from a fine quality copper satin in the 1940s. The beautifully padded shoulders and slight nip to the waist give this garment a classic 1940s silhouette. The fabric has a wonderful and eye catching alternating stripe of shiny satin and matt crepe. The v-neckline is framed with a curved wing collar. Three functional pretty circular purple buttons with diamanté centres run from neckline to waist and add a bit of glitz to this fabulous garment. The skirt is made up of the same two tone fabric in a box pleat pattern with the crepe on the top and satin inside the pleat. The dress is made in the style of a mock suit. The jacket opens with functional buttons until the hem of the muck jacket and inside there is a short concealed metal zipper at the front to make it easier to get into the skirt. The dress also retains its original label for Form Fit Dresses New York.
