The radiating pleats fall from along the right hand side yoke and join the left hand side seam which boasts gathered smocking stitches and a curved seam. The top pleated panel sits above a simple cross over panel. The short capped sleeves are accented by pleats along the top of the sleeve seam. The cinched in waistline draws in along the back of the dress with a matching fabric belt, and sets off the pleated frill detail along the dropped waist seam, finished by velvet trims. The elegant skirt-line is accented by box pleats to either side of the centre of the waistline. Finished with button fastenings along the back of the dress, each detail of this piece showcases the design and craftsmanship of the era. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLabel: None\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMeasurements of the Dress \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArmpit to Armpit: up to 34 inches\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShoulder to Hem: 40 inches\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWaist: up to 27 inches\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShoulder to End of Sleeve: 10 inches\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHips: 43 inches\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShoulder to Shoulder: 13.5 inches\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSize: UK 8-10 US 4-6 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eClosures: This dress fastens along the back with 7 black buttons \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCondition: This dress is in near vintage condition.
