1940s Rayon Hostess Wrap Dress designer-john-galliano The tie belt is attachedThis is a great little classic 1930s wrapped Hostess gown and it is incredible to think that this little beauty would have originally been intended to be worn only in the house as perhaps a light house coat or hostess dress for the day as it makes for a beautiful full length day dress for a modern girl.
