About the Item
This romantic, late 1970s to early 1980s dress is ankle-length and tailored to a classic, flattering silhouette with its nipped-in waist, rounded neckline and long-sleeves. The sheer georgette cloth is printed with birds and botanicals in fuchsia, lilac and green-blue florals against the black background. The dress is lined with a black taffeta slip, however the sleeves and the decolletage are left sheer. There is a belt at the waist in coordinating fabric. A zip secures the back of the dress and there is a keyhole cut-out at the top of the rear - this is secured with a hook-and-eye at the back of the neck. The neckline is slightly gathered.
In excellent vintage condition with no issues. The dress has sadly lost its design or retail label and is of good manufactured quality - possibly a boutique label piece. It has no size or composition label so please check the below measurements. The fabric is 100% Polyester with a lining of 100% Acetate and the fabric has no stretch. Will fit a range of sizes up to a UK 10-12, US 6-8.

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...
