A Minerva.com post
This lovely dress , New Look N6594 very nearly ended in the bin,
( to find out more about the fabric go to this link on Minerva.com My 1940s tea dress in cotton poplin )
It is a 1940's WW2 Style Tea Dress ,looking at the pattern I feel it is more American in design rather than British as our clothing restrictions were much less forgiving than in America where just about the only clothing restricted was anything made from leather as it was needed for sadddles and so on.
