Description
A mustard yellow short-sleeved day dress with a soft open collar neck, four self-covered buttons and a faux fly opening (neck to hem). There is a concealed metal zip in the left side seam. There are soft pleats from shoulder yoke to waist, and pleats from waist to hem which are double stitched to part way down the skirt. There are also soft pleats to the bodice back, and a plain panelled skirt at the back. There is a separate belt with a chrome buckle.
This dress is thought to be new old stock which came from Hartley's Drapery, a well known store which operated on The Strand, Tauranga.
