Rendered in the softest of cotton lawns, in a pale shade of pink, set off by the ballerina pink floral embroidery, this original 1930's dress, is the perfect piece to welcome to your vintage collection.

The rounded neckline is accented by a slim piped edged, which contours the front and deep V shaped backline. The simple shoulder line, is set off by 6 sewn darts along each yoke, which create subtle structure along the bust-line. The short length sleeves feature 2 tiers of frilled cotton, creating a fluttered design. The elegant line of the dress, is accented by central trailing floral embroidery, which is framed by detailed faggot stitches and scattered floral patterns. Finished with a four tiered skirt-line, accenting the flared hemline of the dress, to match the fluttered sleeve design, this truly enchanting dress showcases the iconic silhouette of the era. This dress is sheer and will need to be worn with a slip to conceal ones modesty.
