Vintage 1920s Floor-Length Elegant Dress with Coordinating Slip
We are not sure of the age of this dress but are fairly certain it was in the family since the early 1930s and believe it is from an earlier period than that. It was worn by a slim, approximately 5 6 tall, very elegant lady who was born in France but moved to the Buffalo, NY area with her parents when she was a child. The fabric is a nearly transparent crepe. It has a black background with muted blue and lavender tulips highlighted with a soft gray. Our guess is that this elegant dress is about a size 2. It has a V-shaped neckline.

The sleeve caps are like graceful wings consisting of tulip petals that are cut out and edged. The skirt is made of 8 gored sections which contribute to its graceful flow. The floor-length hemline is beautifully irregular, following the scalloped cut out edged petals of the tulips. Much of this dress has been hand-stitched.

The slip was made to be worn with the dress. The slip is a lavender taffeta. The dress is in excellent condition for its age. There are no noticeable stains. The seams appear to be intact.

The slip does have some stains that show up in the pictures. While the slip is meant to be worn with the dress, the pictures of the dress were taken without the slip under it. The pictures of the dress and the slip were taken separately. This garment has been in our family for many years and we hope to send it to a new home where it will be valued.
