About the Item
This beautiful black lace slip dress was made in the 1930s. Gowns of this era are extremely collectable, particularly when they’re in such rare excellent condition and a generous size. It is tailored from sheer silk chiffon at the top, detailed with appliquéd chiffon petals forming flower shapes. The skirt is tailored from inky black lace formed of organic spiralling shapes and attaches to the chiffon at the top with an off-kilter hem which follows the chiffon pattern. The neckline is wide with a soft V-shape and it is sleeveless. This dress is unlined and, as a result, has a peekaboo, skin-flashing finish although this is quite understated on the torso. There is a concealed side zip for access although I think this was added later. It is likely that this dress was in fact an overlay and would have sat on top of a slip or under garment made especially. For modern red carpets and event dressing, these lace dresses look spectacular on their own or over modern underwear and bodysuits.
In excellent antique condition, gently worn with no flaws worth mentioning. Unlabelled, it is a very well made piece, probably bespoke or couture. Please check the measurements below carefully as the fabric only has a little give. I'm the owner of Circa and I actually tried on this dress for size as the measurements suggested a UK 12, small 14 on the bottom, and a good size 14 on top or US 8 to 10 respectively. This worked on me and came to my ankles at 5ft 4in or 162 cm.
