How About A Swing Dancing or a Picnic..40s Style? UPDATE. Measurements.

[vintageclothes-line]

40s day dress. Light sheer voile(?) cotton, 3/4 sleeves and gathered bodice. Shown with it's tie belt or a pink one I have. Going on auction by Sunday. I haven't measured yet but it fits my 6/8 manni without pinning (although a little loose in waist). This may also fit a petite since most 40s day dresses seem to be a tiny bit high waisted (or maybe my manni is just long waisted..lol).

It is so summery. The hat is just one of my props.

Wow, just took measurements. Might be bigger than I thought. Bust is 47 3/4 but made to be worn blousey. Waist, 33; Hips, 44 1/2. Bodice Length, 15 1/2.

Just realized the skirt is gored with 7 panels.
