Description: My great Aunt Lucy was an expert seamstress and made this beautiful dress for her daughter ( my Aunt Katherine ) , who passed away last year at 99 years old. We date this dress from the 1930's. There's so much detail here ! Back closes with buttons and loops. Metal side zipper. Fuller upper sleeve tapers to a tight wrist. Lots of darts , beautifully fitted, sewn in waist with unique hip detail. We notice that there is one seam in the arm that is open and needs to be sewn, several other areas , especially in the arm and underarm area that need seams sewn or reinforced. The hem is coming down in several areas. Please take to a good seamstress as this dress is very special. A very unique pattern was used for this dress, and the level of expertise is high. We hand washed in cold water and hung to dry. We recommend that it be dry cleaned next time. No holes , stains or bad odors. Aunt K had a very petite shape. Please check measurements to make sure this will fit you. Most likely would fit a XS size. Shoulder pads may have been in the dress at one time.
