Vintage 1930s silky maxi dress with a most incredible painterly floral pattern in coral, navy, blush, marigold and sage. Swoon… Bias cut gown has a cutout neckline with flyaway flutter sleeves, red velvet trim and a fabric covered weight at the dipped bust to give the perfect drape. Long and flowing down to a slightly trained floor length hemline, and 16 tiny fabric covered buttons lining the back.
Label: None
Size: Small
Content: Rayon (silky and smooth)
Circa: 1930s
Condition: As Is (but absolutely stunning) / minor discoloration along the hem and a bit on the skirt that gets lost in the print. fabric covering on buttons is threadbare, and there are a few tiny tears around the hem. a couple small mends throughout, including at the ribbon. Overall definitely wearable and not majorly flawed, but fragile.
// Style No. D1342

No guess zone. Vintage items are each unique and tag sizes can vary widely by decade and label, so we are meticulous when it comes to accurate measurements and assuring a great fit. We also provide a modern size estimate to help. Questions? Need to see it on a body or dressform? Please ask!
In addition to measuring your body (see guide for tips), it can also be very helpful to compare measurements to a similar item you own and wear.
