Late 30s, early 40s cadet blue polka dot cotton dress. This is such a darling little dress. Cute bodice details with early plastic buttons. White collar & cuff details. Lightly puffed shoulders. Slips on overhead with only a keyhole snap at the neck. Belt loops but belt is missing. No side closures. Possibly homemade. Freshly laundered & ready to wear.
Issues: Overall very sturdy condition. There are a handful of mends. None are particularly noticeable except for the mend on the nape of the neck. The belt loops were sewn uneven. There is an overall fade but it really adds to the charm of the dress. No other holes, tears, snags to note. See photos.
