1940s Cornflower Blue Rayon Maxi XXS

This 1940s maxi dress is timelessly chic and so sophisticated. A tailored shirt dress style with a button down bodice, sharp splayed collar and wide buttoned cuffs, it has slightly puffed sleeves with gathered pleats at the cuff and a sash belt to define the very narrow waist. Made in a soft and airy chiffon in birght cornflower blue an rich milk chocolate with a modern floral print, the pleated maxi length skirt has a flowy sweep for a dramatic entrance. Perfect for day or night, dress it up with gold jewelry or switch out the belt for wide brown leather and pair it with boos and a chunky cardigan. No labels, very nicely made, circa 1940s.
