1940s Deep Blue Brocade Wide Shoulder Dress, by Markham, 41in Bust

Beautifully elegant with some serious statement shoulders, this late 1940s deep blue and black brocade dress by Markham would make a wonderful frock to wear to that special occasion coming up. The light catches the delicate floral motif, making the fabric shine and shimmer when you walk. The strong shoulder is balanced with the wide collar and full skirt, that could easily accommodate a petticoat or two for added volume.
