I got inspired to remake this beautiful striped dress while visiting the Macclesfield Silk Museum. Here the mid-1930s style inspired lovely in yellow, dark grey and white rayon plays with the horizontal and vertical placing of the striped fabric pieces creating a fantastic art deco style design very popular in the era. The bodice has an interesting jabot type insert down the front with a collar and with the nice detail of a trio of bakelite buttons and pin tucks at the shoulders. The sleeves also have the familiar contrast of horizontal and vertical and the button detailing. The top stitched centre seam on the skirt features a kick pleat. Fastens with snap fasteners at the side.
