1940s Grey Secretary Day Swing Dress
I love the simplicity of those darling day dress from the 1940s. It is cut fairly simple and uses the weave of the fabric to create the visual interest. It has a classic silhouette with a below the knee skirt that softy falls over the hips and into a gentle A-line. The waist nips in and the bodice is cut on rounded seams with no defined shoulders. The sleeves are cuffed and the collar high and pointed. I love the row of buttons that runs down the front with the backed detailing running behind them! A slanted pocket sits on each hip with pretty seaming detailing worked into the hip area above and behind each pocket flap. Very chic and in excellent condition.
