A true vintage 1930's silk gem with the dreamiest, most fantastic print I've seen...

This amazing little number is, unfortunately, so small in size that I could not find a dress form/mannequin small enough to properly photograph it on...however, anyone with a little imagination and fashion know-how will recognize the true beauty and rarity of a piece like this!

On a light-to-medium weight ivory silk crepe, this print features what I imagine to be an under water, dreamy print of red coral brushstrokes like feathery fans, with caviar and bubble-like clustered orbs and puce purple-grey strokes peppered throughout...what do you imagine this print to represent? I think there will be many different interpretations.

This special little number also has many great vintage design details; a 'fluffed' rolled self-fabric collar that turns to a point at the front, meeting a metal zipper, short sleeves, chevron-peaked waist with pin-tuck gathering at both bodice and skirt...then, get this! one hidden hip pocket at right hip. The skirt of dress has been hemmed from original knee-length, but a 9" length of original fabric still remains tucked underneath! 12" length metal zipper and hook + eye center front closure. The rolled collar would have been more pronounced, so I have photographed it with a light insertion of tissue, in order to help it stand as it may once originally have.

Overall condition is strong and very good with mild underarm staining, mild discoloration throughout fabric and repair/stabilization (has been backed with a cream colored, slightly thicker fabric) to the right shoulder area.
