A B O U T

This exquisite 1940s dress is meticulously hand-crocheted from narrow cocoa-brown rayon ribbon, creating a lustrous, sculptural texture that catches the light beautifully. The craftsmanship highlights the era’s appreciation for intricate handiwork and refined silhouette design.

The dress features a shapely fitted bodice with short sleeves, a pointed collar, and a matching self-belt that cinches the waist for a classic hourglass line. The skirt falls gracefully to mid-calf, subtly flaring at the hem to enhance movement and femininity. The openwork crochet allows for layering with a slip of your choice, offering versatility in styling. Evocative of postwar sophistication, this dress exemplifies the ingenuity of 1940s fashion—when resourcefulness met elegance through handmade artistry and innovative materials. A timeless statement of craftsmanship and quiet glamour. In excellent condition, freshly dry cleaned and ready to wear.
