I bought this pretty little dress off Ebay not long ago. Even though I knew that it needed work and had quite a bit of fading I couldn't resist it! It's from the late 1930's to early 1940's. I'm thinking it's homemade, due to the fact that it has no side zipper or buttons. I gotta tell ya this dress is not easy to put on at all because of that! Once it's on though it fits me perfectly! I have yet to clean it because I'm so afraid it'll shrink...so off to the dry cleaners it must go. I just had to share it with you first!
I hope all of you are well! I've been doing lots of sewing the past couple of weeks. In the next few days I'll have some pictures of the dress I just finished! Until then take care! :o)

Oh it is absolutely perfect! Stunning! I can't wait to see it cleaned and out and about on you!
It's beautiful--I can see why you love it!
look at the detail on those sleeves, my goodness! i don't think i could've let it go either.
And btw, your comment the other day about the possibility of your quirks scaring me away: not possible! i think your quirks are adorable and they make me all the more excited to meet you. i have a feeling we're going to be two silly girls when we finally do get together!
This dress is beautiful. Can't wait to see it on!
I can't way to see that dress! I know it will be darling! Wish I could sew! Have a lovely week, sweetie!

that dress is gorgeous! the color is so nice. i hope no harm is done to it at the dry cleaners!
Such a sweet dress! I hope the dry cleaners take good care of it for you :)
so pretty! I imagine the bust area to be extremely flattering (sorry, I'm small busted and therefore obsess over this area). The color is dreamy too, although I really can not stand putting on/off slim fitting dresses without closures! I'm sure I'd have ripped it in half by now.

That dress is so beautiful!
It's gorgeous! I love all the detailing... the 30s was such a fantastic era for some really swanky details. Can't wait to see what you've been stitching!!!

Can't wait to see it on!
It's lovely! I think that the best dresses are always a little flawed. It gives them character and makes me feel not so bad about wearing them.
I'm sure it'll look great on you! :)
yessss! i can't wait to see what you've been working on :)
can't wait to see what you've been doing! this dress is amazing

The buttons and the sleeves!!! What a perfect dress!

Gorgeous. I'm always hesitant to buy dresses off eBay in fear that it won't fit. I'm glad this one fits you perfectly :)
