The sleeve is an elaborate and shortened version of a leg of mutton style whilst the skirt element is a lavish affair of folded and pinned fabric leading to an arrangement of fabric swags on the lower third of the dress. The bottom rear portion is attached to the inverted waistband. The hemline of the dress is asymmetric as a result of the swags.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlabelled but made by a professional hand, whoever made it had a fabulous appreciation of historical costume and it's quite possible this dress was made for a Hollywood film - it was purchased in LA. The fabric may be much earlier than when the dress was made - we believe in the 1930s. The zip at the back has been added either at the point the dress was made, or a bit later. We have completely restored and cleaned this dress taking great care to address any cotton breaks and she is now in superb condition with no flaws of any note.

This is a clever design whereby the bolero jacket is made to look like a separate part of the dress; however, it is actually joined at the side seams and across the shoulders. The design has tapered puff sleeves and opens to the front of the bodice with popper fastenings. For decoration, 3 original glass buttons have been placed along the button stand. There is further access along the waist side seam whereby there are additional poppers. The dress has a V neck collar but rounded lapels in keeping with the more feminine look of the piece.

With additional diamond darts front and back that create a wonderful sense of movement. Though unlined, the silk is of exceptional quality and is not at all transparent - it has a delicate, illustrative pattern of springtime flowers in shades of orange, pink, lilac, baby blue and pastel green.

We have fused the underarms to reinforce the fabric which has thinned with age. There is also a very small, neat, darned area in green cotton right on the underarm seam which we have left as it is a good mend and cannot be seen unless inspecting the dress very carefully. Although the dress has no label, the quality of the craftsmanship is evident and most likely handmade by a skilled seamstress. The construction and use of pinking shears for the seams suggest this is an early American piece. Due to its loose, bias-cut shape and lack of fastening, this dress can be slipped on over the head to suit a range of sizes between a UK 10 to small 14, or 6 to 10 US.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMEASUREMENTS\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBust - 42 in.

It is tailored from inky black machined lace with no lining, it has a sheer finish, and falls to a floor-skimming length. The sleeves are tailored to a three-quarter length and are cut slim, as was the vogue at the time. The neckline has a square-cut with piped seams which add a modernity to the silhouette. The skirt is full and is finished with a wide tulle ruffle. This dress is unlined and, as a result, the top has a peekaboo, skin-flashing finish. The dress fastens under the left arm with tonal black snap closures. It is likely that this dress was in fact an overlay and would have sat on top of a slip or under garment made especially.

Gowns of this era are extremely collectable, particularly when they’re in such rare excellent condition and a generous size. It is tailored from sheer silk chiffon at the top, detailed with appliquéd chiffon petals forming flower shapes. The skirt is tailored from inky black lace formed of organic spiralling shapes and attaches to the chiffon at the top with an off-kilter hem which follows the chiffon pattern. The neckline is wide with a soft V-shape and it is sleeveless. This dress is unlined and, as a result, has a peekaboo, skin-flashing finish although this is quite understated on the torso. There is a concealed side zip for access although I think this was added later. It is likely that this dress was in fact an overlay and would have sat on top of a slip or under garment made especially. For modern red carpets and event dressing, these lace dresses look spectacular on their own or over modern underwear and bodysuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn excellent antique condition, gently worn with no flaws worth mentioning.  Unlabelled, it is a very well made piece, probably bespoke or couture.  Please check the measurements below carefully as the fabric only has a little give.
