This dress is probably from the early 1940's. The skirt is very short but very full. The rest of the dress is all fulness too: blousy bodice, huge bell sleeves.
It reminds me of pictures of back-to-school dresses in old magazine's. It might have been a teenage girl's dress. I feel very school-girly in it anyway.
The dress has colourfull floral embroidery on the collar.
The embroidery was done by hand. It is not executed perfectly but the effect is very cheerfull. The reverse side of the dress shows how messy the back of the embroidery looks(always a good indication that something was done by hand).
Funnily enough, next to reminding me of shoolgirls, the dress also bears a striking resemblance to the dress in this picture from 'la femme chique' from 1941.
La femme chique goes back to school;)
