About the Item
It is unusual to come across an original vintage rayon and crepe dress from the 1940s in a rare, larger size and we believe this will fit up to a modern size UK 20 or US 16. Composed of two different fabrics, it has a smooth rayon top and a navy-blue crepe skirt with a slight waffle texture. The top is tailored from sheer russet brown rayon printed with white flowers with green and purple detailing. The sleeves are cut to a slightly bell-sleeve style with snap closures on the cuffs. The neck has a wide point collar detailed with four rows of brown running stitches. The neckline has an opening that is fastened with a snap closure. A pretty ruffle hangs from the centre of the collar down the front of the dress. The skirt has two soft pleats at the front. The dress is unlined.
In truly excellent vintage condition with no issues. It was probably bespoke made by a very competent seamstress and good quality fabrics have been used. There is no size or composition label, so please check our below measurements closely as the fabric has no stretch.

1930s Midnight Blue Long Sleeved Floral Georgette Maxi Dress
Located in London, GB
This true vintage 1930s ankle length gown is cut to a classic tea dress style in a midnight blue, almost black georgette with striking peach, mustard and pale blue-grey florals printed across it. Full of character with lovely period details, it is detailed with a cowl neckline and sweeping ruffle. The sleeves are sheer and join to a faux-cover up that is actually attached to the dress. This ties loosely at the front however the wearer wants it. The dress has a bias-cut column silhouette and falls gracefully to the ankle. It is lined with black crepe throughout, however the sleeves are not lined and are sheer. The only opening is the keyhole neckline at the rear so you need to be small enough to slip it on over your head.
The dress is in very good antique condition, particularly for a garment of nearly 90 years of age. She is wearable with care and the following points to note: There are some rather charming patch repairs to the bottom of the hem, left sleeve and one on the body in various sizes. It was clearly a dearly loved dress and it's rather hard to spot them unless you go looking for them. They could be better sewn but I rather like them the way they are and so we left alone when we restored other parts of the dress - we photographed a few so you can see what we mean. The cuffs were very narrow so we have moved the poppers and this has left some small grazes to the fabric - minor. Wearable 1930s tea dresses...
