Truly beautiful sublime vintage original 1930's tea dress - rare and in simply fabulous condition for its age.
In delicate lemon yellow chiffon with a pretty scattered floral print in tones of orange, cream and green - still wonderfully bright and vibrant.
Short sleeves, gathered around the shoulder seams and also gathered up inside at the edges to create a puffed effect copied in the 1980's for 'bubble skirt' hemlines!
4" wide frilled collar around neckline, and fitted waist with belt loops to add your own belt. Two triangular shaped panels above the waistline add a typically 1930's feature.
The flowing skirt has a few tiny tucks around the waistband and hangs in breezy folds to the hemline and is slightly bias cut at the back with gored section, giving a flirty swing as you walk.
The bodice and skirt are lined with yellow fabric, and the sleeveslined with a delicate mesh to retain their diaphanous look.
Pulls on over the head, with a keyhole at the back of the neck with chiffon ties.
Divine! Worthy of a princess, hollywood movie or vintage starlet, and a beautiful addition to any museum or private collection.
