A patriotic embroidered dress dating from the Liberation of France Circa 1945

A touching tricolour and patriotic simple dress dating from the Liberation of France after the Second World War in 1944.

Machine embroidery in a semis of tricoloured flowers, because patriotic colours were all the rage! Simple, sleeveless dress, collar with two turned-down points adorned with two matching buttons. The skirt has a godet on the front for ease and two slanted pockets, with a zip on one side. No lining. Clean dress, no stains or holes. Good condition.
