Elegant 1930s Volup Burgundy Crepe Day Dress with Lace Appliqué and Bishop Sleeves

⸻

This exquisite original 1930s burgundy crepe dress is a rare Volup-size example of interwar elegance, thoughtfully constructed with all the hallmarks of late-decade design. The deep, wine-toned crepe falls beautifully over the figure, with a subtle weight that enhances its fluid silhouette.

Three perfectly spaced self-fabric bows ornament the bodice, while intricate cream lace appliqué sits just beneath the softly pointed collar, offering a gentle contrast to the richness of the fabric. Voluminous bishop sleeves gathered into shaped cuffs add drama and delicacy in equal measure.

Designed with minimal seaming for a smooth line through the body, this piece is an ideal example of understated 1930s daywear — wearable, elegant, and hard to come by in this size.
