Description |
This bright red or crimson ladies dress has two individual belts of the same fabric as the dress. The sleeves are short, and the round collar fits close to the neck. There are two seams on the bust which are mirrored on the back of the dress. The fabric has a satin finish with small ridges from the weaving. It is likely a light weight synthetic material. There is an attached slip in the skirt of a sleek red synthetic fabric. The skirt hits right below the knee at "street length." A zipper runs partially down the back. Two white cotton sweat pads are attached inside the armpits with safety pins. A tag inside reads: "Ann Colby / U.S. Pat. Off." (Patent Office) Another tag reads: "Internation Ladies Garment Union / ACMS / 237730." |
