1930s Floral silk day dress - Small
Tax included.
A divine early 1930s day dress in light semi sheer silk, printed with body florals in pale pink/red/white/yellow and black. Unfitted, with thin belt loops to add your own and draw the body in as desired, or wear loose for earlier, 20s, feel. The bodice is designed to appear as though with matching bolero jacket, with layer of fabric open over the bust, and sweet ruffles to the short gently puffed sleeve. There is a drop waist seam, which is subtly scalloped, and the piece slips over the head with no back or side fastenings, just pop studs along shoulder, so bear this in mind with measurements. Belts not included
Chest of garment 36”, not meant to be tight
14” between shoulder seams
Waist area 35”
Hip 44”
Mid shoulder to hem 46”
Excellent condition, we reversed some bad alterations, and there remains two lines of ghost stitch dots around waist level, which are masked by the print. Minor use to neck binding but not noticeable on and no structural risk. I spotted a tiny nibble hole to skirt when pressing which I can’t find now, so certainly not seen unless under scrutiny!
