1920s Yellow Chiffon Floral Dress

£475.00
This charming original 1920s silk chiffon floral print dress is delicate, feminine and in excellent antique condition. The pale yellow chiffon hosts a subtle abstract floral design in deep rose pink and lilac blues and has an air of understated modernity. The dress features a shallow scoop neck and a panelled triangulated neckline with a second layer overlaid and edged in a deep flounce which resembles an overlaid shawl. A light flyaway skirt flares out beneath a low horizontal panelled band which sits on the hips. The cuffs are roll-edged and finished with popper fastenings. As this piece is unlined, we recommend it be worn with a slip. Could be worn by a range of sizes up to and including US size 6, UK 10.

These chiffon dresses are increasingly difficult to come by in wearable condition and although the condition of this dress is excellent, it is not perfect. There is a small spattering of pin head size holes in a few localised areas all to the rear and the side seams of the dress. These are tiny and would never be seen when worn. The fabric has no tears or stains and is in otherwise very fresh condition.

F.A.Q.

Will you set anything aside for me before I come?

We are happy to find anything you may be interested in from our website - please let us know a week in advance. 

We also have an extensive offline collection. If you let us know your size, style, favourite colour to wear and perhaps your budget, we can browse through our archive in advance of your appointment. 
Do I need to bring anything with me?

Clients may wish to bring modern shapewear when trying on garments from certain eras, especially the 1950s. Vintage clothing was often worn with undergarments that shaped the waist and as such is tailored for them.


We have a huge variety of slip dresses and petticoats to complete your look; many of which are also for sale.


You may also wish to bring your favourite footwear. We often find a classic pair of nude shoes work well when trying on, or a pair in gold or silver.
Do you have a price range?

Many of our lower-priced pieces (under £150) are not available to buy online. Our prices range from £80 - £600 for separates. Dresses start at around £150 and go up to £2,500 for the very best antique pieces and designer vintage. Our bridalwear ranges from £300 - £3,000.
Can I bring anyone with me?

Yes but please do let us know the size of your party in advance.
Where can I get alterations?

Can I cancel my appointment?
