1940s Two Tone Linen Dress, Handmade A-Line, Orange, Cream, Vtg Academia, Sm

I have never seen a vintage, handmade dress in such amazing condition! 🧡 Stunning A-Line dress with a full zipper in the back that is in like-new condition. 🧡 Short sleeves with fluttering pop-over style neckline. 🧡 Off-white border around the sleeves, in a line down the front, and in an adorable bow at the neck. You can leave the bow tucked under the neckline (pic) if you like. 🧡 Buttons are sewn on and not functional: could stand to be sewn on a bit tighter if you wish 🧡 Fabric is lightweight and feels like linen! Incredibly soft and fully lined. 🧡 Reminds me of something a school teacher or a secretary would wear in the 1940s 🧡 Only damage is a tiny dot on the back of the pop-over neckline, which I have not tried to remove, and a small rip in the shoulder lining which is hidden (see photo) 🧡 There is even extra fabric hemmed underneath if you would like to tailor the dress to be longer! Measurement of surplus hem is 4 1/2" 🚭 Non-Smoking Home / no odors, pit stains, etc. 🧡 Style with a belt (pic) and wear with heels or flats and your favorite earrings. 🧡 📍 Measurements - taken flat📍 Bust: 20" Waist: 16" Hip: 21" Shoulder to Hem: 43.5" Zipper Length: 21" Shoulder to Sleeve: 9" 🧡🧡 Feel free to ask any questions 🧡🧡
