40s Silk Lady Print Dress

Fabricated in silk with a fab forty conversational Georgian-inspired print featuring ladies in gowns and men in justaucorps frock coats with mandolins and I think that’s a cat playing with a ball.

The ground color is ecru and the print outlines are brown with fills in blue, yellow, and violet.

It features a love wide bertha-Esque collar edged with a self-ruffle.

The bodice fastens down center front with textured glass buttons and a snap at the top.

The short sleeves have a non-functional tab with a button tacked in place at the overarm
