Amazing Original 1930s Volup Vintage Black Dress With Spider Web Dress

This stunning dress was made in the 1940s from black self patterned crepe de chine with a small white print. The textile gives a wonderful textured appearance which adds great depth to the garment as the light catches it. The dress was cut in the classic fitted silhouette of the period with a nipped waist and structured shoulders adorned with incredible diamond shaped shirring. The shirring creates flattering pleats that fall across the bust and five exquisite spider web buttons fasten the dress at the bust. The sleeves widen into a gentle bishop style before terminating in a fitted cuff and two large pleats give tailored structure to the skirt. 

Bust: 40”

Waist: 32”

Hips: 50”

Length: 43”

The dress is in very good condition with no issues to note.

This garment is available to purchase with or without dress shields. These clever little contraptions have been made by our seamstress to an original 1940s pattern and can be simply attached to your garment by tack stitching at the corners of the underarm seam, pinning (we wouldn’t recommend that, it hurts if it goes wrong, so if you try this, it is at your own risk only) or inserting tiny poppers. They then stand ready to absorb any sweat and body odours as needed and you can simply detach and launder them instead of your garment, saving you a fortune in dry cleaning bills.

They are equally suitable for suits, blazers and dresses and come in pure white cotton.

They are universally sized and super easy to use even for a sewing novice as only a couple of tiny stitches are required at each side to secure them.

We sell Dress Shields as a standalone item or at a discount if you purchase them with a garment. We will select the appropriate type to match the garment you have purchased.
