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 :)
