Historical notes:

1. The dress is designed for the younger woman with a wide swing skirt; the ribbing would fit tight to the body with a slightly fuller upper bodice.
2. This dress is from 1939, at the start of the war and before wool rationing had been introduced. Styles were still very feminine and designed to flatter the figure. The skirt is very full, but the sleeves are more fitted than those of the mid 1930’s.
