Gaia | Vintage 1940s novelty print fashion girls flared dress with belt tie

Isn’t this just the cutest novelty print. Girls with their hats on, at the beach? 

It is in a faux-wrap over at the bust with an empire waist that flows with the softest material.

Seems like a 1930s/1940s silhouette with a “Made in California” care tag. By that we would date it between 1940s - 1970s.  

Ok, but before we go done a rabbit hole with research .. we were once again distracted… by the cutest sleeves. ;) 

Pinned?: No. But has a attached fabric belt-tie at the waist.
