1950s Vintage Cotton Paisley Wrap Dress Full Skirt

I think this was originally a robe but due to the overlap of the wrap styling, I think you can make it work as a dress quite well. Measures 14” across the shoulders, 37” through the bust; right now, with the snap where it is, the waist is 28”, but you can move the snap and/or tie the dress more tightly with the attached sash to make it fit smaller. You could also make it bigger, but you may not get the full wrap coverage if you move it over to make the waist bigger. Hips are full and length is 45”. Three quarter length sleeves are 17” long from top of shoulder to cuff. Has one snap at waist and the only other fastening is the wrap tie at the waist.  Fabric is cotton, unlined. Label reads ”Loungers”. Excellent condition with no holes or stains. True colors are olive green, navy, bright blue and hot pink. No pockets; sash can be tied at back or front. Shawl collar lapel.
