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).

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.
