Stunning Original 1930s Vintage White Spring Dress With Stylised Floral Print

This incredible dress was made in the 1930s from white cotton with a beautiful stylised flower print in shades of red, navy and periwinkle blue. The print is so very of its era and the dress was cut in the lightly fitted silhouette of the period. A small white rounded collar leads to three stunning red pressed glass buttons at the top of the neck, which sit within a round shoulder yolk. This yolk mirrors the shape of the collar at the back and creates wonderful pleats that run across the front of the bodice. Beautiful short gathered puff sleeves add a classic period detail and the waist is gently nipped. The panelled skirt falls in a fluid shape with lovely movement. The dress slides on over the head with no fastenings and is unlined inside. 

Bust: 38”

Waist: 32”

Hips: 41”

Length: 45” plus 1” hem

The dress is in very good condition with only a few minuscule flaws as puctured.

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.
