♛Details

See ads from 1949! Made in lots of different fabrics in this very style for a brief period. Shirtwaist/coat cut, a sturdy sport dress with softly shirred shoulders, envelope pockets, and a matching belt. Celluloid buttons down front and pink Lucite on the cuffs (I believe those two are replacements from slightly later).
