Vintage Collectable Antique 1930s Size 8 Homemade Black Satin Acetate Ruffle Collar Maxi Dress

Brand - homemade.

Condition - good vintage condition for its age. There are some light signs of wear but to be honest, for a dress of this age it is great. There are a couple of teeny tiny holes on the right sleeve and the little seams at the side of the waist have started to tear at the seam. Only by a few mm's and not noticeable.

This gorgeous 1930's occasion dress is made from what feels like a silky satin feel acetate fabric. 

The construction of this dress is very 1930's and is what helped me date it. 

It has a subtle v-neckline to the front of the dress with ruffle trim collar detail - the underside of the collar is a cream satin silky acetate fabric. Which ties at the back with a scarf tie. It isn't very long so you can tie it in a bow. 

The dress slips over the head and fastens to the top of both shoulders with two tiny press studs. 

It also fastens to both sides of the waist with tiny little press studs - In all the years I have been selling vintage clothing I have never a dress constructed like this - fastening both sides of the waist. 

It also has a bias binding backing to the inside of the waist band and this fastens to left side inner waist with two hooks. So it adds shape to the waist from the inside.

It has long sleeves with pintuck pleating all the way round. It fastens at the cuffs with two buttons. 

It is maxi in length and unlined. 

With a pintuck pleated panel all around the hemline. 

A really lovely piece to add to any collection. 

Please note that the dress is shown pinned to fit the mannequin.
