About the Item
This outstanding 1930s vibrantly printed maxi dress is one of the best we have ever had in Circa's collection. From France and made to couture standards, the fabric is wonderful; tailored from a high quality crepe patterned with clusters of painterly roses in bold jewel and contrasting soft pastel tones. It has a V-neckline, which gives way to a substantial row of fabric-covered buttons which fall the length of the front, ending just below the knee and forming a slit at the front of the skirt. The sleeves are generously cut to a bell-sleeve style which gather at the cuffs. The cuffs close with three fabric-covered buttons which fasten through fabric loops. The stand-out detailing of this dress is the red fabric scallop trim that adorns the front, sweeping up over the shoulders and across the back, creating a tromp l’oeil collar. This scallop detail also trims the slit pockets at the waist. The dress falls to ankle length with a playful, swirling skirt. At the waist is a detachable belt in the same red cloth as the scallop trim. The dress is unlined.
Very ahead of its time, it hints at the tea dresses that came in the next decade, and the scallop detailing and vibrant prints of today’s most beloved labels. In outstanding vintage condition, particularly for a piece of nearly 90 years of age with no faults and is completely wearable. We are sure this is someone special but alas the labels have been lost to the passage of time and she is an unsigned beauty. Please double-check our measurements below as the fabric has no stretch. We estimate a good fit for up to a UK 10 or US 6.

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...
