Really gorgeous (and such spring perfection!) 30s bias cut evening dress in a delightful peachy pink jacquard rayon with a soft pattern of what looks like pears or fruits with leaves. The bodice is dramatic with a draped cowl neckline and sewn in diagonal pleats to the shoulders. Huge princess puff sleeves, sewn in wide pleats all around the arm and lined with white net to give them a puffball shape. Raised V-underbust and a long slinky bias cut skirt flowing freely from underbust down. No fasteners, dress pulls over the head and slips on, with small popper buttons on the shoulder. No label, most likely handmade.
SIZE
The dress is not labeled with a size but fits approx like a Small. For your best fit please refer to the measurements.
Please note that this slips on over the head, so I would leave room for movement and ease of dressing.
Fit on model: as shown
Chest: 35" (best fit a little bit smaller as dress has to slip on)
Underbust: 30-31"
Waist: 27" stretches to 30" approx but best fit somewhere inbetween
Hip: has give due to the bias but best fit up to approx 42")
Shoulder to underbust: approx 12.5"
Shoulder seam to shoulder seam: 13" (but fits wider due to the big puff sleeve)
Length: approx 62" (as skirt is bias cut this may fit shorter when worn as the dress stretches on the width)
(There is a short hem on this)
CONDITION
Very good condition.
-Some small marks to the lower part of the skirt, nothing very noticeable. One faint shadow of a mark to the waistband and one on the back of the bodice, and a slight line across the upper hip, see photos.
-One tiny repair to the fabric on the bodice, see photo, barely shows when worn.
