Editor’s note:
A vintage evening dress can have a personal style. Because when buying a vintage dress, you don’t only buy the fabric and yarn, you buy a piece of the past.
This is what we love in vintage clothing, their beautiful fabric and history.
Everything we sell is in perfect condition.
Also, we do major repairs and necessary retouch.
Each garment is washed or dry cleaned.
We offer new life to these clothes, and we are happy to restore them, when so many things in life can not be repaired.
Details:
This is a unique piece, created by an unknown designer in the early ’40s.
A real dream of ecru lace.
-A cross-shapely sheath dress to the knee before opening with a large wheel on the bottom decorated with two silk bows.
-The waist line is highlighted with a silk belt that closes in the back with a knot.The beautiful ecru lace is worn on a background of beige silk dress.
-Zipper on the side.
This dress has everything to seduce pettite figures and will turn the heads of all the guests.

PLEASE GO BY MEASUREMENTS GIVEN BELOW.
Measurements are of the garment itself, not body measurements.
Modern sizing standards vary, and are different from vintage size
tags. Measure a garment of your own in the same manner: laid flat,
measured across front then doubled- to guage fit. Garments may
fit snug at max measure - please leave room for comfort.
Approx. measurements are:
-Bust: 34″ (85cm)
-Waist: 27″ (68cm)
-Hip: 39″ (95cm)
-Shoulder seam to seam: n/a
-Shoulder to waist: 14.5″
-Sleeve: sleeveless
-Length shoulder to hem: 51″ (129cm)
-Bottom skirt sweep: 80″
Any larger size dresses have been clipped and waist cinched to
mannequin to show a more real silhouette. They will fit and look
different on different body types/sizes. Please do not go by any
VINTAGE size tags that may be present, vintage sizes labels
are not valid by today sizing standards.
Condition:
In good condition. A pea sized brown spot on the left side of the skirt. Three tiny grey smudges on the rear of the bodice. An orange pin dot on the front bodice (almost impossible to see). Little bit of marking on the satin at the underarms. A few tiny holes in the lining (not visible). Slightest hint of color variation on the satin. The bottom portion of the bow was tacked up… went to untaken it and realized that it is hiding a small tear in the bow underneath, so we have left it (tear is not visible this way and dress looks fine).

!!! IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT VINTAGE!!!
Before leaving feedback:
- The condition of VINTAGE items is a subjective opinion
- I point out any major flaws I see, I may not list inside flaws if they are not seen and don’t effect the wear-ability of the item, trivial missed minor flaws do not constitute misrepresentation.
- Cleaning is usually left up to the new owner.
- I dry clean items or I wash them if they really need it. So please expect to have to clean or at least steam your item, as they will be wrinkled from shipping.
- Vintage items will not look new please expects them to look previously worn and owned, some more worn than others.
- The absence of a label in a garment does not necessarily mean item was homemade, regardless. Vintage labels may have been removed by original owner or the tag’s threads age and tag is lost, torn out, etc.
Please read entire ad and double check before buying if you are not familiar with the issues of Vintage.
