GAY GIBSON vintage 1940s 50s WOOL & LACE SHIRT WAIST DAY DRESS 25 inch waist

Pretty Post War vintage  late 1940s / early 1950s   day dress made by the Gay Gibson label  of a soft felted wool blend (? - there are no content labels) in a milk chocolate brown colour accented with ruffles of a cotton crotcheted lace.  The tailored sheath cut dress features cuffed short sleeves, a fitted bodice with a small pointed collar, buttonfront opening to the nipped waist, darted bust and a side metal zipper opening.  The attached skirt is a pencil cut with a knee length hem.  The dress only partially lined in the upper half of the skirt.  

MEASUREMENTS:   No size  labels ... bust measures 34 inches (therefore fits a size 32 or smaller bust best), the waist  measures 25 inches and the hips are 36 inches. The dress is 38 inches in length.  Please remember as always, leave room for you when using these measurements to determine fit.  There is no stretch to the dress.

CONDITION:   Very slight wear  ...  there is a tiny repair in the lower front of the skirt (see pic with my pencil pointing to the repair) ....overall,  very good condition.

GREAT NEWS!  Now FREE SHIPPING anywhere in CANADA - all with tracking.  Almost all International shipping  is available with tracking and the cost of International shipping is shared approximately 50/50 with me.  If you would like to combine items internationally for shipping, message me for a quote.  Expect shipping within Canada to take 7 - 10 days.  International shipping normally takes 7 - 24 days.  I reserve the right to combine shipping.  
Sadly, due to the tariff situation with the United States, I have suspended shipping and selling to the USA.  The massive increase in costs and complicated logistics no longer allow it to be feasible for me.  I apologize.  Hopefully, things will chnage for the better soon.  
Shipping is always discrete.  Buyers are responsible for any duty and/or customs fees that their country imposes.

All of my items are vintage and therefore will have some minimal signs of wear consistent with their age (example - a loose thread).  I describe my items as honestly and accurately as possible with both text and pictures - clearly noting any known larger imperfections (holes, stains, missing buttons, etc).  If I have missed something, I apologize - please let me know and I will do my best to fix the issue.  But please remember I am a human being.  My preloved items have been freshly laundered unless otherwise noted in the description.
Often, I buy lots of the same item (particularly lingerie items).  After I sell one, I will often list another .... the second item is NOT the first item you purchased.  There is more than one.
