Description: My friend Mia will approve - This lovely 1930s rayon dress is so soft to the touch. One of the lightest rayons I've ever encountered. Rich burgundy with cream floral print, smocked shoulders, 9 fabric loop bodice closure with 8 celluloid or Bakelite buttons (sadly, one is missing), 2/3 length full sleeves with one inch banding. Sliding the banding up the arms creates fuller sleeves. Inverted skirt pleats are topstitched from waist to below the knee. No closure except the bodice buttons. No belt needed either. One hole in the hem interior was repaired with fusible fabric. It does not show as it is under the hem. A 3/4" tear in the right sleeve material was stitched back together by us. A larger vintage size, too. Bust measures 44 from seam to seam. Waist 36 from seam to seam. An exceptional garment. Dry Cleaned. Dress measures: bust 40 to 44, shoulder to shoulder 15, sleeve length 14, waist 32 to 36, hips 44, length 45, hem sweep is 60. The bagged shipping weight is 14 ounces.A note regarding vintage clothing: it is rarely perfect. It has history, was, most likely, lovingly worn and cared for and endured far more years than most of us - in most cases 70 to 100 plus years. We try to detail every imperfection, but some seam separations, discoloring and stains may escape us; however we strive to repair and clean these wonderful designs from the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s ( I rarely dabble in post 1970 clothing). If you want perfect, I suggest you look elsewhere for newer clothing. If you want wonderful echoes of past designs and their attention to detail, we may have items that will appeal to you. Most of our listings, if not new, are repaired or mended to the best of our abilities and noted within the description. Most vintage items are professionally dry cleaned or laundered by an eco-friendly green on premises cleaner. As a result, listings prices often reflect this worthwhile investment in these garments. Their history warrants nothing less. Combining shipping charges is always our pleasure. With multiple wins or purchases, please await an invoice reflecting your discounted shipping. Sold AS IS with No Returns. Smoke and Pet-Free Environment.
