About the Item

Rendered in the most incredible shade of turquoise blue silk chiffon set off by teal velvet ribbon details, this original 1930's vintage dress is a rare piece to behold. The rounded neckline is framed by a velvet ribbon border, finished with a central decorative bow, which begins the striped velvet ribbon and bow design along the top of the bodice. The simple shoulder line, sets off the puffed sleeve design, which boasts matching velvet ribbon and bow details. The elegant line of the bodice, which gathers in softs pleats between each ribbon appliqué, draws the eye to the fitted waistline, from which the bias cut of the skirt-line drapes along the silhouette, completing this dress in a timeless and iconic 1930's silhouette. This dress is sheer and may need a slip to conceal ones modesty.

Very subtle yellowing and colour variation along the armpits of the dress. There is a large water mark along the central part of the back of the hemline, this is well concealed by the drape of the silk. A few very gentle age marks concealed within the pleats of the bodice. These minor details are in no way apparent when the dress is being worn as they are well concealed within the drape and design of the dress.
