Snookie said:At first glance I pegged that as 40's, the silhouette is so similar to the red linen one you got. I suppose it could be late 40's, but I don't see it getting too far into the 50's - not sure why, maybe the shoulder width? Don't forget to add a belt! Most of those dresses would have had one, but have lost them over the years. Check if it has belt loops (sometimes just thread).
Great purchases! I never buy clothes on Ebay, but I love seeing all the greatest hits!
I agree, it definitely looks 40s to me. It was so cheap because it's faded ever so slightly on one shoulder but I don't think it's very noticable at all. It is missing the belt but perhaps some ribbon might do. It's one of those dresses which make me feel like Joan Crawford as soon as I put it on
$ally - Thanks, that sweater is just a perfect fit and has the cutest tiny shoulder pads.
Trixie - Thank you, I really like the simple lines and red is my favourite colour.
