J. Peterman's classic "1947 Dress" is their most iconic dress due to it's sophisticated, timeless appeal. You'll feel utterly sensational in the most figure-flattering dress of the century!
The draping, from the full, sweeping skirt to the shaping darts, artfully emphasizes your silhouette. Lots of movement, timeless, understated gorgeousness!
The bracelet-length sleeves and covered buttons complete the dressmaker appeal. The luscious cotton has just a hint of stretch for ease of movement - oh, and how could I forget the concealed side-seam pockets? Who doesn’t adore pockets?😆
J. Peterman's catalogue is known for their whimsical descriptions:
“The Velvet 1947 Dress offers you deliverance from the boxy, skimpy cut of World War ll utility fashions!
Rita wore it. Marilyn wore it. Coeds and secretaries wore it. Your mother wore it!
Women forever looked sensational in this little number. Still do. And always will! (...unless the female form undergoes some radical transformation!)"
** Keep in mind that the size is flexible. Simply by cinching the waist you’ll fit between 14 - 16 with ease while emphasizing the stunning full sweep of the skirt! Yup, it’s that versatile! I was all over with my sizing at the time of purchase…it fit when I was up & down - the belt & stretch are the secret!
I ended up wearing the crimson version of this dress, so this stunning frock needs an appreciative home! **

@rockcandyla ouch! I purchased it to wear as my holiday dress for way over $300 and never ended up wearing it. It’ll sell when it returns to regular price next holiday season. Regardless, one always takes a loss when selling on Poshmark but it’ll be nice if I can recoup some of it anyway. Glad that you’ll purchase it at such a huge discount on the website… That’s awesome! Enjoy it - it’s truly incredibly special!! I’m looking forward to buying this exact, same silhouette in a summer fabric.

Can you take a full length shot of the actual dress front and back? Also what is the bust and waist measurements? Thanks

@maryzieman Hi, Mary. I’d be pleased to snap a few photos. It’s such a lovely day today, so I’ll take them outdoors in natural light. Brb! 🤗 Katt

@maryzieman Good evening, Mary. I posted a few pics earlier. Depending on the light, the shade can appear emerald or a more muted forest. It's brand-new in absolutely pristine, unworn condition. I ended up wearing the crimson version last Christmas, after purchasing both colors...difficult decision, as both were stunning! Still on original hangar from JP, although I'm. not sure if I kept the garment bag...I'll take a look around. Updated measurements on listing. Thanks, Mary. Take care. 🤗 Katt

@poshkatt2 thanks for all your help. Not quite ready to decide.

@maryzieman You're welcome, Mary! 😆 New listings are on the way, including a new J. Peterman sz.16 blue & white floral French Toile print dress in this 1947 silhouette - although the length is longer, sleeveless with an open neckline. A lovely, crisp, cotton day dress. Happy Poshing! 🌻🌷🌺
