Gorgeous rich purple rayon crepe dress from the 1940s. This dress probably had shoulder pads at some point and may help balance the long torso but also works well for longer torso folks! Anyways, it has a simple bodice, 3/4 length sleeves, and an asymmetrical sarong style skirt hip detail. Metal zippers at side and back of neck.
The Story: This piece comes from a collection of pieces that where found in an abandoned schoolhouse turned town hall. Unsure why these pieces ended up here... possibly donations of some kind? Anyways, they've all sat untouched for decades until another picker purchased them from the land owners and then onto me. I've since machine washed every piece and tried to fix them up as much as possible. Some in much better shape than others. Still felt they all deserved a chance at a new life but please read condition carefully for them!
