Vintage 1940s Peplum Dress, Size Small

Stunning vintage 1940s era peplum dress by NY Creation with sequin collar detail, size S (see measurements below). This dress has been in my collection for decades, but I’ve never managed to squeeze into it. It’s the archetypal WWII era dress, complete with small shoulder pads, sequin collar and covered beaded button details, as well as a peplum that ties in front. Good vintage condition with a few small bites out of the fabric, some slight discoloration and loose stitching in spots including hemming of sleeve, and a few of the sequins coming unstitched. All in all, given that this beauty is around 80 years old, she still has a lot of life in her. Hidden side button opening, no zipper. ****** Fabric Content/Care: No fabric tag. My best guess is rayon, given the drape. Condition: Good vintage condition given its age, with some small holes (the most obvious of which on one shoulder, but are quite small), some slight discoloration of the fabric, and some of the sequins needing restitching. Measurements: 19” pit to pit, 28” waist, 40” long, 17.5” sleeves. ****** Welcome to Bekah’s Closet! Some of the clothes you’ll discover here are my own, some are vintage, some of them are upcycled with crochet, but all of them reflect the fun, funky, and fashionable spirit of my daughter, Rebekah. I’m on a mission to find clothing that doesn’t just fit runway models—you’ll find Bekah’s clothes in petite and plus sizes, as well as standard and junior sizing.
