50's Cotton Snap-Down Workwear Shirt DressWorkwear was made to last, and this dress is no exception! This basic workwear dress, comes in a classic style that was utilized from the late 1930's through the 60's (my best guess for this example is late 40's to 50's). The shift style dress has a fully snap down front closure (also known as a shirtdress or utility dress) and extra large hip pockets. The open collar and sleeveless arms are all design details to allow ease of movement and comfort.
