for sale in an exceptional late 1940's to early 50's cotton dress crafted by Donnell's of Denver. This dress features a vibrant hibiscus floral print with a blue geometric pattern throughout. Side Zipper.
The dress showcases a dramatic ruffled cape collar finished with a delicate lace trim and a rose pin centered in the middle of the neckline. A fitted waist gives way to a full gathered skirt, while the asymmetrical overskirt reveals cascading red ruffles beneath, creating beautiful movement and a distinctly western inspired silhouette.
This is a wonderful example of postwar American craftsmanship that blends the southwestern influences that Colorado makers became known for during the era.
Overall, the dress is in superb condition. We've tried our best to picture any issues that the dress might have, although this one is in wonderful shape.
Measurements:
P2P: 32"
Waist: 24"
Length: 45" (measured from the back of the collar to end of the ruffle bottom)
