.......Today I was lucky to find this rayon 1940's classic beauty from my top secret vintage source which fits the way all dresses should fit today.
This amazing vintage dress is not a wrap dress but it transforms to about 2 different sizes. Imagine wearing a size 4 and gaining a bit of weight to where you need a size six and still be able to wear the same dress and still have it look amazing on you without the need to do any work on the dress. This is the beauty of a 40s WWII era dress made with efficiency and conservation in mind. The dress has 3 buttons where you can adjust the waist size and then wrap the ruffled pleat around your waist. I cant wait to wear this dress to the Reading WWII event in two weeks with a large black brimmed hat, gloves and red shoes. I must say wearing a 70 year old dress of this superb quality does make me a bit nervous. The best part now is researching to see if I can find this exact dress in old 40's catalogs. Click on images to enlarge. The quality fit of a 40's vintage dress is impeccable. I have a harder time shopping in regular stores today than I do at any vintage store. You would think that at 100 lbs. I would be able to fit into anything, haha.........NO!!! Dresses today are manufactured so poorly that you start to believe there is something wrong with your body when in reality it is not your body but the poor quality of todays mass produced crap.
