Way Back When-sday

I found this lovely red and white summer dress, c. 1940, while I was looking through some of the listings at Augusta Auctions. More sewing inspiration! :) I don't think it would be too hard to replicate. The 'sleeves' are really unusual though. I wish they had had more views of them...

I absolutely adore this dress!! I love the way the skirt flows and the color and the flattering v-neck, the buttons, and the darling, unusual sleeves! It seems to me a very feminine dress--I LOVE it! I hope you can replicate it! P.S. It was so good to see all of you tonight! Wasn't it a good night? I really appreciated Mr. T's comments/charge to Derek. See you Saturday! Praying for all of you! Faithfully-yours, Mrs. G.
