This vintage 1930s evening gown was made from a rich black velvet material. Bias cut with a stunning figure skimming drape, made absolutely perfect with large puffed leg of mutton sleeves. A gathered bust flattered by a sweetheart neckline provides a very feminine allure. This gorgeous gown looks exceptional from the front, but the back offers the dramatic effect with a deep slit opening. Three little velvet buttons close at the neck, while a row of buttons close from the waist down right above the derriere. This gown falls to the ankle with a sleek A line skirt and cinches at the waist with an attached belt. Absolutely stunning.

A Note on Buying Vintage

This is an antique or early vintage garment made from delicate materials such as silk, fine cotton, lace, or early synthetics. These textiles may display signs consistent with age, which includes:

• natural fiber fatigue
• gentle thinning at stress points
• subtle irregularities inherent to early manufacturing
• age-related softness or patina

These qualities are authentic to historic garments and are considered part of their character, not defects, unless otherwise stated.

Notable flaws, such as excessive wear, stains, holes, or rips will always be photographed and disclosed in the condition notes.
