1940s cold rayon dress by "Patricia's". Bodice has padded shoulders and a snap closure behind the neck. Skirt hugs the hips and flares toward the hem with a side drape panel. Floral piece on bodice is formed with an applique of the skirt fabric. Side zipper has been replaced with a modern one but was well done and not visible when closed.
Dress presents beautifully but has a few flaws. There is some fade the the sleeve area and a watermark by one underarm. There is some minor bleed from the pink part of the print. There is also a mend hidden in the skirt drape, not visible when worn. Minor wear commensurate with age. Despite flaws, very stunning in person and flaws aren't really noticeable when worn.
