A B O U T

A stunning example of WWII era craftsmanship, this 1940s hand-crocheted dress is fashioned from lustrous rust-colored rayon thread, lending it a soft sheen and fluid drape uncommon in cotton crochet of the period. Meticulously handmade, the dress features a sculpted, body-conscious silhouette with a fitted bodice, defined waist, and gently flared skirt that falls just below the knee. The sweetheart neckline with a subtle notched center beautifully frames the décolletage, while the short puffed sleeves balance the form with a touch of demure charm.

A matching crocheted belt cinches the waist, emphasizing the hourglass shape, while the alternating openwork pattern creates texture and visual rhythm. The supple rayon thread gives this piece an elegant movement and subtle shimmer, making it as refined as it is romantic. Comes complete with original matching slip. Slips on effortlessly over the head.
