Incredible Old Hollywood 1930s Original Vintage Black And White Rayon Dress With Amazing Sleeves
This incredible dress was made from black creps in the 1930s. It was cut in the classic bias cut silhouette skimming the wearer’s curves. The sultry deep V neckline has been highlighted with an asymmetric black and white tie detail and a wonderful layered fabric overlap creates a unique accent on the voluminous sleeves. Exquisite chevron seam work adorns the skirt and creates beautiful texture as well as movement through the gored pleats in which the points of the chevrons end. The dress fastens with poppers at the side and is unlined inside. It creates a strong femme fatale aesthetic that could have stepped straight out of an old Hollywood silver screen movie.
Bust: 39”
Waist: 33”
Hips: 39”
Length: 47 1/2”
The dress is in very good condition with only a few minor marks and an underarm repair as pictured.

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.
