This original 1940's dress, rendered in the most sumptuous shade of cyan blue linen, is just the piece to welcome the warmer weather with.
The V shaped neckline is framed by a wide notched shawl sailor collar, that conceals the shoulder line and sets off the sleeveless cut. The fitted bodice is accented by central matching linen and pearlescent covered button fastenings, and double darts beneath each side of the bust-line. The cinched in waistline, sets off the elegant line of the skirt, completing this dress in an iconic 1940's silhouette.
