This is a 1930s era day dress made in a dark navy blue, almost black, rayon fabric with white polka dots. The dress has a deep V shaped neckline with shirt-type collar, long full cut sleeves with button closure cuffs, faux slant pockets at either side, and is made in a below the knee length. The dress is quite structured using seaming through the bodice and the skirt. It has a seam defined waist and is constructed so that the skirt falls in drapes and has a deep box pleat at the centre front. There is a row of smocked tucking across the shoulders. The dress has no closures and simply fits over the head. The dress is unlined.
