Description: With only a paper inventory label sewn into the seam, this beauty is a remarkable unsolved mystery. Probably late 30s, silk velvet, side snap (replaced) closure, square neckline, trimmed in ecru lace (some discoloring, see photos) dotted with rhinestones, 3/4 sleeves and a full flowing dramatic hem sweep measuring 160 inches (over 13 feet), this beauty is cleaned and in excellent vintage condition for a velvet over 80 years or age. You be the judge. Jet black, some photos augmented to show drape and sheen. Close-ups of lace trim included. So very soft to the touch. Dry Cleaned and steamed (from the inside only). Meant to fall and drape dramatically (and it does) this dress/gown measures (seam to seam measurements): bust to 36, waist to 28, hips to 40, length 60, shoulder to shoulder 18, sleeve length from shoulder 15, hem sweep is a generous 160 inches. The boxed shipping weight is 2 pounds, 3 ounces. here is a great deal of fabric here.A note regarding vintage clothing: it is rarely perfect. It has history, was, most likely, lovingly worn and cared for and endured far more years than most of us - in most cases 70 to 100 plus years. We try to detail every imperfection, but some seam separations, discoloring and stains may escape us; however we strive to repair and clean these wonderful designs from the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s ( I rarely dabble in post 1970 clothing). If you want perfect, I suggest you look elsewhere for newer clothing. If you want wonderful echoes of past designs and their attention to detail, we may have items that will appeal to you. Most of our listings, if not new, are repaired or mended to the best of our abilities and noted within the description. Most vintage items are professionally dry cleaned or laundered by an eco-friendly green on premises cleaner. As a result, listings prices often reflect this worthwhile investment in these garments. Their history warrants nothing less. Combining shipping charges is always our pleasure. With multiple wins or purchases, please await an invoice reflecting your discounted shipping.
