Vintage 1930s Bias-Cut Chantilly Lace Dress

About the Item

This rare vintage 1930s bias-cut lace dress is an absolutely stunning example of 1930s fashion. It is becoming increasingly (very) rare to find these 1930s lace dresses in the beautiful condition of this one. It is crafted from a breathtaking floral Chantilly lace, in a rich burgundy hue. It is cut on the bias to give that natural flutter to the skirt, which is further emphasized by panels in the skirt, for a beautiful, full sweep. The bodice is fitted and puff sleeves add additional drama to the look. It features matching lace buttons down the back, which are not functional; underneath the buttons are hidden snaps, closing it all the way down the back. It can be styled a number of ways, including with a bodysuit or nude slip, or contrasting underpinnings. Measurements: Note that the lace naturally stretches, and the bias cut helps. Will best fit a size X-Small and possibly Small but please refer to below measurements to be sure. Shoulders: 13" between shoulder seams (puff extends further) Chest: 28" laid flat, up to about 31.5-32" stretched Waist: 22" laid flat, up to 25.5-26" stretched Length: about 56" Great vintage condition, with general wear commensurate with age, but note that this dress is in gorgeous condition considering it is nearly 100 years old. There is some wear to the lace on the buttons, but note it would be very easy to remove them, as they are non-functional and there are snaps underneath, OR replace them if you desire. The wear is generally not flagrant and does not detract from the dress presenting beautifully. Some minor separation to the lace and seams throughout is to be expected. With any questions about the specific condition or size, please send a message for additional photos or measurements, as all sales are final. *IF YOU REQUIRE EXPRESS SHIPPING (domestic or international), please contact me for my best quote! Same-day or next-day delivery (or pickup) is in most cases available in the NYC area. @VERYBREEZY — Follow along on Instagram for exclusive access to new vintage arrivals
