For all those floral loving gals out there, I present to you this adorable late 1940s or early 50s Nylon Sheer French Summer Shirtwaist Dress with a spiderweb novelty stylized botanical print that features black & green flower motif with "web" lines set against a cream white background.
Adorable mid century day or house dress has been in storage for a long time but it's time to let it go. Classic hourglass "New Look" with a cinched waist and full A-line skirt silhouette. No frays or holes, didn't see stains but they could be so faint my camera couldn't find them. Zip works. Buttons are in great shape.
Made out of sheer nylon fabric that's slightly crinkly, almost similar to plissé. The dress features three black buttons down the front bodice, original shoulder pad & Unique "winged" or pinwheel style dramatic hip patch pockets with decorative buttons. Zips up the side with the original B&L zipper..
No Vintage Tag Size Present. Based on measurements fits like a modern US Size 8/10 (S/M). Double Check Measurements carefully as vintage fabric has no stretch
