1940s long sleeve dress

A number of flaws: lightening discoloration on shoulders and back, hem has come undone, a few stains. This dress is old and as is but beautiful! Front closes with metal hooks, and there is also a metal zipper down the side. Big collar and shoulder pads! Unfortunately no tag so I’m not sure of material. Color is a deep navy blue, less purple in real life than in the photos. Bust: 17” Waist: 12” Length: approx. 42.5”
