This is a fabulous late 1940s into early 1950s cotton day dress. The fitted bodice has cap sleeves and a jaunty flyout collar with oversized points. Skirt is A-line, lightly gathered into waist in front. Two large patch pockets on the skirt with angled diagonal plaid flaps add another sporty touch.

SIZE: No size label

FABRIC/COLORS: A wonderfully bold large scale printed plaid in vibrant yellow, dark red, and light orange with a bit of white and cobalt blue. The fabric is a sturdy cotton.

TAGS: A Brentwood Cotton, J.C. Penney Co. Inc.

CLOSURES: The dress completely opens and closes in front with nine large white plastic buttons. A self-fabric sash ties at the waist.

CONDITION: There was a small hole - about 1 x 1/4" - hole in the fabric of the collar at the back of the neck. I refolded a small section of seam and hand stitched - see before and after closeups.
