Vintage 1930s Marigold Floral Garden Print Silk Flutter-Sleeve Ruffle Maxi Dress

About the Item

The vibrant marigold floral garden print used on this 1930's 'Ryder's of Philadelphia' designer silk maxi dress has a fresh innocence that I find irresistible. The bodice has a fantastic low-cut front with tiered short flutter-sleeves. I especially adore the unique criss-cross lowered backside. The piece work to create the skirting in particular is extraordinary; there are two stunning panels of ruffle construction. It is amazing that a gown with this amount of detail and presence can literally feel almost weightless but it does. So romance and rare! Measurements Bust: 32-34 inches Waist: 26 inches Hips: up to 38 inches Total Length: 58 inches This 1930's Ryder's of Philadelphia designer dress is in beautiful condition with no noticeable rips, holes, stains or alternations. Perfectly working back-side hook closures. This garment is over 90 years old and is truly stunning!

  • Vintage 1979 Givenchy Haute-Couture Metallic Gold & Black Burnout Velvet Dress
    By Givenchy
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    Givenchy, the name itself evokes glamour, refined elegance, simplicity and style. Givenchy's trademark of sculpted lines and luxurious fabrics make his work easily recognizable. This gorgeous cocktail dress, dating back to his 1979 collection, is a beautiful example of his brilliance. The fabric itself is a masterpiece; metallic gold and black graphic illusion burnout silk velvet. I adore the elegant slight-puff shoulder billow bodice with lean, long zipper-wrist sleeves. The five-inch long cummerbund nipped waist adds the perfect amount of drama to this timeless beauty. The a-line skirting, with flattering tiered ruffle detail, finishes this garment off with a perfect "femme fatale" vibe. As Givenchy said, "The dress must follow the body of a woman, not the body following the shape of the dress."
