1940s Rayon Peplum Dress in a Bold Holiday Floral Print, Rare Extra Large
A standout 1940s dress in warm red-coral rayon, with a graphic print that feels made for the holidays. Bold black stylized leaves and roses, framed by sage green vines, are dotted with yellow and periwinkle blossoms. The bodice has a flattering shawl collar and padded shoulders with a crisp, tailored line. It closes with three clear Lucite buttons centered with brass-tone studs. A self-fabric belt with a bow cinches the waist over a gathered peplum, and the skirt falls in a slim, softly pleated line to the calf. It has its original side zipper. Extra large sizes are rare in true 1940s pieces, so this is a wonderful find for the bigger-sized vintage lover.
