1930s Pale Pink Embroidered Lace Tea Gown Dress

About the Item

This enchanting vintage dress was created in the 1930s. The fabric is mesmerising; pale pink translucent net with delicate leaf embroidery. Tailored to a timeless '30s silhouette, it features short-sleeves, a décolletage revealing V-neckline and full-length, floor-sweeping skirt. This gown comes with a matching belt which fastens at the reverse with hook-and-eyes. This beautiful dress would be a perfect choice for summer garden parties and alternative bridal wear. As is usual for pieces from this time, there are no makers labels. Due to its age, it has no size or composition labels. The dress has a larger bust measurement in ratio to the hip, which is a relatively slim fit, therefore we recommend it would best suit up to a US size 4, UK 8. Our model (5ft 4in / 163cm) is a UK 6-8, the slip was roomy and the outer fit her well. NB : The original slip to accompany this piece is thankfully available and has been photographed with the dress. There appear to have been adjustments made and there is notable wear, however this is barely noticeable beneath the dress. We have included to protect modesty although an alternative slip may be preferred.
