1930s Floral Rayon Bias Cut Slip Dress

An exceptionally beautiful authentic 1930s bias-cut slip dress made in the softest pale blush pink rayon with an all-over romantic floral print in shades of rose red, cornflower blue, butter yellow and soft green.

 This piece has all the details collectors look for in true 1930s lingerie-inspired daywear: a fluid bias-cut silhouette, softly gathered shelf bust construction, delicate lace-trimmed shoulders and curved pieced seaming throughout the body. The fabric has an incredibly light, cool hand and drapes beautifully in movement.

 Though originally intended as elegant lingerie or informal boudoir wear, it translates effortlessly into modern wear as a summer dress, romantic layering piece or occasion dress. The silhouette is incredibly flattering once on the body, softly skimming the figure with gentle movement through the lower skirt.

Please note this piece has survived nearly a century and does show signs of age and wear consistent with delicate 1930s rayon. There are several historic repairs and reinforced areas, including discreetly patched sections strengthening earlier tears. These have been done thoughtfully and blend remarkably well into the print, remaining largely unnoticeable when worn. There are also some small areas of mending and light seam stress in places. Please study photos carefully. The dress presents beautifully overall, but should still be treated with appropriate care due to the age and delicacy of the fabric. It has been priced accordingly and reflects both the rarity of the piece and its condition.

Condition:

Good, wearable vintage condition with historic repairs, reinforced areas, small mendings and signs of wear consistent with age and delicate 1930s rayon. Please study photos carefully. Priced accordingly. Presents beautifully when worn.
