The Story:
This is a true vintage Late 1930s early 40s black rayon crepe day dress that looks like it strolled right out of an old Hollywood film.
Made with rayon crepe this dress has a fitted black cloth button up bodice with a charming Peter Pan collar, but the real beauty here is the soutache embroidery. The pretty soutache detailing on the collar and the matching hip pockets is exquisite. Dress has vertical darts above the waist. The sleeves are set in and have turn back cuffs. The sleeves are 3/4
This is not just a display piece; it is a wearable piece of history with a sturdy metal side zipper the zipper says Rapid. The skirt has a beautiful flowy drape.
In wonderful vintage condition for its age
Dress has some stretch to it.
See measurements for sizing closest to a size M ( no size marked as common with vintage dresses) but always go for actual measurements for best fit. Compare it to something you own that fits you well
