1940s Navy Blue Rayon Swing Dress with Red Lace Detail - 1940s Navy Blue Dress - Vintage Swing Dress - 1940s Blue and Red Dress | Size Large

Professional construction with no design or manufacture label present. Done in a gorgeous deep navy blue rayon with a gorgeous vivid red crepe beneath the stunning lace detailed yoke. The dress features sweet gathers at the shoulders and beneath that beautifully executed yoke. A shirtwaist bodice with a scalloped edge along the button placket with buttons to match the lace covered red crepe. The neckline has optional hook and eye closures, that when worn open shows off the vivid red in solid lapels. When worn closed, the original owner added a bit of matching ribbon that ties to the top hook for a sweet bow detail the really elevates the cheerful aesthetic of this dress. The dress fastens with only the buttons at the bodice and must thus be dressed overhead.

Condition is listed as very good plus. With only one small repair the size of a pencil eraser, noted to the left sleeve. This notation is unseen without very close inspection and hides well in the dark color of the fabric. No other issues to note, no discoloration or fade and the lace is pristine. Presentation is absolutely perfect!
