Hello all... this is a 1940s rayon dress (thanks KK) that I am putting on ebay later today! Is does have a small hole in the top layer of material on one shoulder due to a stupid clothes pins metal corroding and seeping onto the dress :-( But hey they can't all be in perfect condition. otherwise its fab, But its still sooo pretty, the detailing in the back is too hard to show, but it has a "mermaid" type thing going on? any one have any better terms to call it? I guess thats the best way I can think to describe it. If only it fit me Iwould be wearing it!!! :-(
