made by me using a mid 1940s pattern and thrifted materials. the busy black and white print hides a lot of details. there is delicate sheering at the shoulders, the bodice has a crossover faux wrap bodice and the skirt has deep pleated to the skirt side front for added " swish". perfect dress for swing dances! nylon side zipper. measurements laying flat and not doubled: 15 inch waist 20 inch pit to pit
