Streamlined Elegance 1930s Champagne Velvet Trained Gown

Sumptuous late 1930's Vintage Silk Velvet Trained Gown.  There is a very Medieval, Lady of the Lake look to this gown. This gown and a few others we just listed are part of our extensive Vintage Bridal collection. This collection is a labor of love as I love Wedding Gowns! and always have. 

**The fabric is usually referred to as silk velvet.  It is the lighter weight, very drapey plush velvet used during this period.  In truth, it might be a silk blend.  The color of the velvet is Ivory...but not a yellow Ivory.  Always hard to discuss color.   It may be a bit more like Champaign.  The 1930's loved every variation on the color Ivory, Creme, White etc. 

** The top part of the gown gently follows the female form.  It has a high neckline and long sleeves that end in points that extend over the wrist.  The more fitted part of the dress is tunic length...and is in truth probably a stylized tunic look.  It attaches to the skirt below the waist.  The only detail is the deep pleat that runs horizontal around the lower hips.

**The skirt is very full, but cut in such a way that it falls with little bulk from the drop waist.  It has quite a long train which has a wrist loop.

**The dress buttons up the front. 

C O N D I T I O N:  Overall Excellent condition.  It has some subtle spots.  You could wear it as found, but I would have it professionally cleaned.  This should freshen beautifully.

S I Z E:  Small to extra small.  Probably a modern 4...maybe a size.

PLEASE NOTE:   We do not clean most of our vintage clothing, and recommend that you either wash or have them dry cleaned. Any issues we believe will be problematic we mention. Thanks, Maire et al
