Vintage 1930s to 1940s maxi dress made from a very sheer burnt orange rayon chiffon fabric. Absolutely stunning, with ruched detail at the shoulders that creates a stunning gathered bust. Bias cut with a fitted waist, with metal zip closure at the side. This gorgeous gown falls to the ankle with a very full flowing skirt that is slightly longer at the sides to add a bit of drama. An accompanying rayon taffeta slip allows for modesty. Such a beauty!

CONDITION
Good - One mend on the waist close to the left side seam. Storage marks at the hem that I didn't notice until the dress was under bright photography lights. Slip has a few tiny marks and dents. Dress originally had sleeves but they were removed; amateur stitching around armholes but it not distracting. Underarms were reinforced with same fabric.
