1940s Gemrich Gold Leather Wedge Sandals 1930s_jewellery The shaping on the waist

The shaping on the waist and bust creates a very flattering shape

We did notice that the dress has been re-hemmed and importantly the new hemline

The dress fastens at the back with a hidden tonal pink zip and has a keyhole cut-out at the top which closes with a hook-and-eye closure
