Delicate and see through 40s lace dress, really feminine and romantic and great for layering over coloured slips on tights. Fitted bodice with gathers to the underbust and short sleeves. Deep plunging v-neck. Fitted waist and beautiful full midi skirt with gathers sewn in to the hip at the waistband. Side metal zipper to fasten. No labels.
SIZE
The dress is not labeled with a size but fits approx like a Small to Medium, probably best suit around a UK10 as you don't want to put too much strain on the lace. For your best fit please refer to the measurements.

CONDITION
Very good condition.
-Hem looks like it may have been altered, but length is still generous.
-Previous owner had added a little modesty stitch to the neck, which I unpicked, but if it is too low cut, you could easily stitch it up a bit again.
-Some very very faint fade to shoulder and upper sleeves.
-Dress has belt loops but no belt.
