1940’s Floral Day Dress | Vintage

1940’s floral day dress with original belt. 

It has had a lot of wear, and there are faint thread runs in a few places (most notably an area at neckline) yet there is something beautiful about this…this dress was loved, worn many times, and is a true piece of vintage reflecting the fact that during the 40’s people had to make do, and couldn’t always walk around in perfect clothes. 

Ideal for Goodwood Festival, or film and stage, or just to be worn and loved again
