This was a special dress to me. It was the first 1930-40's one I ever found, then happily sold. Luckily also I took some pics of it.
It is/was a lovingly handmade crepe type material dress with press studs on the side,delicate button holes and butterfly wing sleeves. Amazing that these dresses can withstand 60 years of life plus.
Detail of the button.
And here it is bought back to life as worn by Jessica from Coco Repose at her stand at Paddington. She looks so good in it. I like the way she has added the hard edge leather with it. May it have many more years of wear.
