Help with 40\'s dress, please

I am going to list this wonderful 40's dress tomorrow and I am in need of some help. Can anyone suggest any keywords besides "Vintage 40's Dress" ?

I think the material is rayon although I am not certain. It has very cool plastic buttons with leaves and dots (not sure if they are berries??). I cannot even think of what to call the pattern....artsy floral???

It has a metal side zipper and a lovely peplum.

I am hoping someone can help me......Thanks in advance. Gail

I would use rosette in the title. Very cute!

Here are some examples of rosettes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosette_(design)

and I think the buttons do look like berries.

Great information, Deborah. Thanks for your help.

It's lovely!

Rosette print 1940s peplum dress w/ berry buttons ?

(I am not very inspired today, but you see where I'm heading!)

Hi Gail,
If I were listing it I would say:

40's Vintage WWII Lindy Floral Swing Dress

Add Rosette before Floral if there is room.

I would go with....

40's Vintage WWII Floral Rosette Swing PEPLUM Dress <---51 characters
You have room to add whatever the size is.....S M L or XL

I DO really like that, please tell me it is XL....44 bust

Thanks for the great advise and keywords.

Sadly, the size is smaller, Tori. 36 bust....medium?

I will have it listed this afternoon. Thanks again for the assist....you guys are terrific!

Maybe add "day dress" to the title? It's so cute but casual ... Not a 50's day dress (the standard generic term) but you may be able to grab a few extra buyers w/ that...
