This is one of my all time favorite wool plaids - the colors and the novelty weave. And the dress is just as special! I believe it is mid 1950s, and the design elements set off the plaid in such a masterful way. The bodice is done with the plaid positioned diagonally, including for the three quarter length dolman sleeves that pleat into shallow turned up cuffs. Three diagonal curving pleated darts fit the bust on each side, most unusual. 

SIZE No size label  

FABRIC/COLORS: Wool plaid with primary color a darkish marine blue with woven-in sky blue, rose pink, and olive green with narrow stripes of looping black fibers that look like mohair.

CLOSURES: The dress closes with a long metal Crown zipper in back.

CONDITION: I found a few pinholes, one on either side of the zipper at the back of the neck - see closeup, and another half way down the skirt front just to the wearer's right of the deep pleat - see other closeup.No other issues noted -no stains or tears.
