The dress was made in 1949. The pattern for the dress was bought through an advertisement in a newspaper and the dress was made by a local dressmaker.
The dress is made from satin material that has an all over flower print on it. It was made by machine. There are covered buttons down the bodice of the dress and on the sleeve cuffs. The buttons are hand made. The sleeve cuffs are closed by press studs. Unfortunately whilst in storage the press studs have rusted and left a few marks on the fabric of the dress.
Looking at the way the dress has been made and the seams are finished I think it shows that the dressmaker was a very experienced one. I think the fact that the dress was made from a pattern that was on sale through a newspaper of the time shows that it was a very up to date style.
