    Is this one 40\'s or 50\'s? What is the pattern?

    Hi there!

    I think I posted this one beforeeeeeeee... anyhoo, listed it - didn't sell, so I though I'd relist it again. I quite like it, but I don't know how well it's translating in the photos. Pinked seams, side metal zipper, no tags, missing it's original belt.
    Any ideas on the year? And would it be a house dress more than a formal one?

    I would call it a "day dress" versus a house dress. House dress has the connotation of being lounge wear or a house coat, etc.


    Do i see grapes or flowers on the dress?

    I think they're tiny flowers... though I'm not sure. If memory serves me right, I think it's actually like a mosaic type pattern.
