This vintage 1930s sleeveless gown is so beautiful! It consists of a mauve crepe charmeuse slip and a lovely black satin-backed rayon overdress, with floral cutouts. The gown also has a v-neckline in the front and a squared back. As there aren't any fastenings, it slips on over the head and shoulders, so it best fits a medium. Please note that you should be smaller than the measurements below for optimal fit.
Condition: Structurally very good. There's a tiny bit of fray on the black dress at one of the floral cutouts and a few stray threads, but otherwise it and the pink slip are structurally sound. The black overdress doesn't have any stains, but unfortunately, the pink slip has yellowish streaks and retailer a few rust spots (please see photos). Fortunately, as the stains are on the slip dress, they cannot be seen when worn, because it is covered by the black overdress. The slip and gown have been gently soaked, but perhaps a second hand wash with gentle detergent may lift the yellowish streaks on the slip dress.
Sold as is. The price reflects this.
