Nautically Minded 1940's Hand Knit Dress in Navy / M
👋 A B O U T
Navy blue hand-knit wool dress in the finest wartime tradition — practical, precise, and quietly nautical. The short cap sleeves are trimmed with a run of navy buttons along the shoulder and outer sleeve seam, a detail that reads as both functional and decidedly maritime. The silhouette is clean and unfussy: rounded crew neck, fitted bodice, and a gently flared, pleated skirt. Interior finishing is notably careful, with a grosgrain ribbon along the back of the buttons, the mark of a skilled hand knitter who knew her craft. I am offering this one and another equally lovely piece by the same person. In excellent condition, freshly dry cleaned and ready to wear.
Belt is not original to the dress and was used for styling purposes. Available to purchase separately.
