A breathtaking 1930s summer dress!  Lightweight, sheer chiffon with a sublime floral print in brown, green, and orange.  A fluttery capelet neckline.  Pin-tucking around the hips.  The bias cut skirt has a beautiful drape.  Side snaps.  So perfect for a late summer lawn party!

NOTE: this lovely dress will require your favorite vintage slip.

 

DETAILS

  • Label               n/a
  • Best fits           S/M (see measurements; runs small in the hips)
  • Circa               1930s
  • Fabric              Chiffon

Condition      Overall excellent.  The dress is in amazing, wearable condition (especially considering its age).  The dress shows light, normal wear, including two small repairs (one on the lower back skirt and the other on the back side hip - both well done and extremely hard to notice; mentioned for accuracy).  The hem hangs longer on one side because of the bias cut (normal for this style of dress).
