This dress is made from a beautiful vintage 1940's floral cotton. This darling fabric was found at the estate sale of an antique store owner, carefully folded and packed away for many decades. Eighty plus years later it has finally gotten its chance to shine! The bodice of the dress is trimmed with vintage rickrack, with elasticated puff sleeves and a comfortable stretch panel in the back.
This style is designed to flatter, with princess seams and an elastic panel in the back for the perfect fit. This dress is a vintage length, hitting a few inches above the knee. I have given the "standard sizing" as a general reference. I'm sure you know that women's' sizing can be wildly inconsistent, so I will include detailed measurements as well. If you don't know where to begin, you can compare these measurements to a garment that fits you well. This dress style is meant to have a slightly negative ease, meaning the bodice is meant to fit well against the body. The measurements given are unstretched. Your measurements should be same to an inch or two smaller than the unstretched measurements to ensure a good fit.
Full Bust: 36.5"
Waist: 28.5"
