Purple Translucent 40s Lovey

Some of these dresses and garments aren’t just dresses. Some of them are my LOVEYS. Lovies? Loveys. You know what I mean. I love them, but I know that others will love them, too, and my big butt says it’s time to let them go.

This beautiful 1940s floral cotton dress was one I put on over my dance leotards going back and forth to class. Anytime I wore it, I felt twice as precious as I had moments beforehand. Which actually isn’t much, because I’m not real precious. But you can see why! Those pin tucks, that neckline, the little rhinestones in the bow! With only a few stones missing! LOL.

But I hope this dress makes you feel as fancy as I always did. Even my KIDS like this dress. Measurements:

Shoulders: 17
Pit2Pit: 22
Waist: 17
Hips: 22.5
Length: 43
Hem width: 33
Preciousness: 527

Asking $30 plus shipping because it’s in nice shape, unlike another lovey I’m not bothering to sell. Two stones missing, one mark on a shoulder. It’s also a flaw that it’s too small for me now. Email me!

1. The top half of the dress so you can admire the pleats more closely. 2. The collar because what the hell, why is this the most perfect collar ever on a dress? 3. The stain mark, left shoulder as pictured. 4. The back of the dress. Note that the dress was clipped to fit the mannequin and isn’t tiny. I’d say modern Large.
