This beautiful bias cut mid-1930s inspired plaid cotton dress is yet another perfect example of the detailing in the fashions of the era. The large double layered “cravat”, in plaid cotton and off white silk crepe de chine with a vintage button adds a fun touch to the front bodice. These kind of geometric shapes were all the rage in those times. It points at yet another very art deco style feature in the skirt’s central panel with it’s pointy shape. The balloon style 3/4 length sleeves were also very popular then. The v- neck and the cuffs of the sleeves are in off white silk crepe de chine. The dress fastens at side seam with snap fasteners.
