It was made for casual dancing, with a cool V-neck bodice and very full skirt, nearly a circle. The bodice has cap sleeves edged in gold rick-rack, with elaborate rows of trim at the neck and on the self belt. The three tiers of the skirt show the crinkly texture of the fabric a bit more, with more trim at the second tier and a rim of gold at the hem. A fun print in sober colors, this dress forecasts the outrageous fabrics of the 50s. The bodice has bust darts and a high round neck with white sheer ruffle encircling the neck and a self string bow.
Sleeves run to the elbow, with an elaborate ruffle around the cuff and partway up the sleeve.
Black round plastic buttons close the front from neck to hem. A-line to the skirt. The elbow length sleeves are set in raglan style, with radiating tucks spread out over the neckline and shoulders. The windows have radiant designs, with the look of bricks surrounding them. The dress itself is cut with pieced short sleeves and generous double deep pleats.
