This wonderful little dress is so light and easy to wear. It just slips over the head, falls into place and you belt it at the waist for shape. The fabric is a pretty silk chiffon with a graphic black and white print over its surface. The bodice is cut loose and easy to accommodate its slip-on shape. The neck line has a V detail with a little bit of pleating to highlight it and the sleeves are just a suggestion. The skirt flares out and is bias cut so has lots of movement with you move. It is cut to be generous but in theory even a smaller girl can wear it as the feather light fabric allows you to really cinch and gather it through the waist as needed without adding bulk. It weighs ounces and is a very pretty 40s piece. Excellent condition
