Add whatever you want to this 30s vintage little black minimalist dress or add nothing at all. IT'S A LARGER SIZE! Originally much longer, maybe even full length. Shortened back in the day because hemlines went high in 40s and women altered their dresses during the war instead of buying new. Semi-sheer (look closely at photos) rayon crepe, very lightweight, moves nicely. Hem very small, no room to make longer. Short puffy sleeves with reinforcements at shoulders. This was before zippers were in dresses, so buttons at side, under hidden button placket! No labels, probably home made. "Surplice" style bodice fabric crosses over into a low V neck. Skirt seaming from waist to hips and then pleats. So cute. So 30s not wanting to let go of 20s styles! Back of bodice is yoked with gathering to waist. Belt loops, no belt. CONDITION NOTE: Two mends by right sleeve, both shown in VERY LIGHTENED photo. No other problems.
