Fantastic! This authentic 1940s dress was stored in a Massachusetts attic for 70 years before finding its way to Vintage Vixen. It has a plunge V-neck with gathers under the bust, a nipped waist and sassy bows on the cap sleeves. Has an invert V seam at the hip and a swingy full skirt (almost a circle) in bias-cut rayon. Grosgrain ribbon buckle-front belt included.
