This 1940s dress is made of rayon with a graphic print in green, black, white, and cream. The fabric has a slight natural give, typical for rayon from this period. The dress has short sleeves with a small cuff, a V-shaped neckline with lapel-style detail, and a fitted bodice. The waist is defined, with pleated detailing starting from the waist over the hips, creating volume toward the skirt. The skirt flares out gradually and is constructed with multiple panels. It closes with a metal zipper at the back, running from bust level down to the hip. The bodice has four panels at the back and three at the front.
