40's/50's Belted Cotton Drop Waist Housewife Dress

1940’s or 1950’s Jeanne Model cotton drop waist dress in green & white.

Simple and adorable mint green dress with tiny white stitched flowers all over. Belted with pleats and a drop waist. This dress has seen some much better days but I still adore it. I would really love to see it go to someone who can give it the care it needs to bring it back to life. The belt is in perfect condition, but the dress has some flaws. Please view all pictures carefully as I have disclosed as many as I've found but there may be more that I did not see.

There is a loose seam on the waist under the belt (picture 9). A pulled seam on the left front by the shoulder/bust area (picture 8). There is yellowing, in particular, in the right armpit area as well as some in other areas that can not be viewed in pictures (picture 6). All of the hems are fraying inside but do not show outside. There is also a button missing (picture 5) and some of the stitching on the flowers is loose (picture 7 is one example). Also the brand tag is ripped

The pricing reflects the flaws that I found.

The fabric is not brittle, as far as my testing goes, other than the issues I have noted.

Measurements approximate and laid flat. Please see measurements as there is no size tag and I made my best guess.
