Vintage 1930s Romantic Grey Velvet Dress
A vintage 1930/40s velvet dress from heaven! This is a super special and rare find with amazing details (but fits very small). Gorgeous ruched sleeves, gathered bust, puff shoulders and a flowing skirt perfect for dancing. The velvet fabric is extremely soft and has a beautiful lustre to it. In the light there is also a gold/brown hue, I’m not sure if it is from age or a natural tint to the fabric which has several shades of grey, blue, silver depending on the light. Closure is a 13” covered Lightning zipper on the left side. Two areas have been mended and there are a few pin holes throughout but condition is impressive considering the age of this garment. Price is reflective of wear. Please ask if you have any questions! Click on photos to enlarge.
