True vintage, mid-1930s, day dress in a very nice, light, and airy cotton, possibly rayon, cream white, dimity-type fabric. It has the appearance of a very lightweight linen but it's not a linen weave. The dress has dramatic flutter or cape sleeves, lace insets at the slit neckline, and original silver studs in a sunray pattern on the upper bodice. The hips are slim and the skirt flares to fullness towards the hem. The dress buttons to close in front.
Condition: The overall ef...fect is really nice but the dress does show some signs of its former lives. There's a repair just above the waistline, there are some small areas of yellowing on the lace and some patina on the studs, the bottom five buttons are discreetly mis-matched, there are a few seam separations (not tears) on the back skirt seam, and there are small, light, scattered grey-ish spots on the skirt, mostly the lower skirt. No perspiration stains, uneven fade, other structural issues, not otherwise soiled or smelly. This is offered as-is and as-found, I have done no cleaning nor mending other than adding the bottom five buttons, it originally had no buttons here.
