Brown cotton dress with hidden pockets

This brown cotton dress by Zambesi has no waistband. It is gathered around a curved neckline and hangs straight down to about knee length. It has three quarter length sleeves gathered at the shoulder and puffed until the elbow where another piece of fabric is attached and the sleeve narrows considerably. Sharon Reid bought this dress from the New Plymouth clothing shop 'Gas Works' in about 1980.
