Black Crêpe Shirtwaist Dress w Coral Ottoman Crochet Mandarin Placket - M, 1940s
About the Item
The perfect blend of bohemian and traditional, this liquid shirt dress combines a bright hand-crocheted placket, cuffs and collar with a modest silhouette, somber color and upright Eisenhower bodice. Stunning details like hand-knotted buttons and radiating rear neck darts balance a swirling skirt that continues moving long after you've stopped. Exactly the kind of dress that made enlisted men swoon (and ask for a dance).
Long sleeve mock turtleneck shift dress with hand-crocheted trim around neckline, down front placket and around cuffs; front and rear Eisenhower bodice pleats. Left side metal zipper closure with buttoning front half-placket and 2-button cuffs; belt loops and matching self tie belt. Unlined.
