1940s Silk Peplum Printed Swing Dress
Fantastic New England sea shore print novelty dress from the 1940s done in a stunning, hand screened print that depicts seaside pictures on it. A whaling boat, schooners and mansions by the shore are all set in pretty little picture boxes. In the background print you can find places in the US east coast - Salem, New Bedford, Provindetown.....amazing! The silk is a beautiful weight and almost has a sueded feel to it. Silk taffeta in a deep blue is set in a peplum ruffle around the hip and it also finishes each cuff. I love the subtly sexy little keyhole at the neck too. It is a labelled piece and very well made. That print would have been specially designed specifically for this dress and made for the East coast summer tourist market! Excellent condition!
