Product code: Vintage 1930’s retailer Printed Organdy Girl’s Dress

This dress appears to be commercially made, but has only a size label of 5. I don't believe it was ever worn as the condition is absolutely pristine. I estimate it to be from the 1930's.
The fabric is a fine cotton organdy printed with full round circles in white and the outline of full and partial circles in a bright coral. Often printed organdy loses some of the images with wash and wear. Not so in this case!
There are minimal high yokes on both front and back. Below the yokes, the dress has four pleats on either side of center front, front and back. The center front provides the closure via snaps and there is a narrow self-bow at neck retailer. The dress is well made with French seams and a 5” hem. The sleeves are very small and puffed with self bows decorating the top of cuff. The collar is a beautiful piece of white openwork, gathered at neckline to form an almost 4” frill trimmed in lace. The openwork is formed in squares and every other square is backed with a matching deep coral. It is all original and in exceptional condition. Size is listed on label as a 5 and that seems correct. Due to the cut, it might even fit a size 6.

Shoulder to Shoulder: 11”
Armhole to Armhole: 14”
Length: 24”
