A Romantic 1930's Black Swan Gown...
Design - This dress was designed during the resurgence of the romantic southern belle following the wildly popular movie "Gone With the Wind." A number of voluptuous, sheer chiffon gowns made there way into the fashion world in the very late 1930s and very early 1940's trying to mimic the popular "romantic" look perpetuated by the character Scarlett O'Hara.
This gown is full and flowing, silky and utterly romantic. It features an off the shoulder design with built in shoulder straps, a large overlay ruffle trimmed with a thin line of intricate black lace. It is loosely fitted at the waist, but then flows out into a full swirling, moving skirt. The chiffon is sheer and can also be worn with a long black slip. It also features a 1/2" band made of a black plum satin on the bust of the overlay and is fitted using a side zipper.

Refunds
Please shop with care and be sure to ask any and all questions before purchasing an item as ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
Dreem Co. takes an extensive amount of time professionally cleaning and restoring our vintage items so they come to you ready for wear. That being said all of our items are authentically and wonderfully vintage. What this means is that you can expect any vintage/antique clothing to have some wear over time. I do my best to restore/note whatever I can. Even the most excellent grade of vintage is likely to have a minor issue or two. There may be instances where a minor issue, such as a loose seam, pinhole or small stain will not be caught by me no matter how hard I try. Just keep in mind that this is the nature of our rare, gorgeous, unique vintage world and this is why all items are sold AS IS.
Honesty & Quality are the most important goals of Dreem Co. I want you to receive a piece of vintage fashion that will make you look good and feel good too. So please feel free to send a flock of questions my way until you are satisfied that a vintage piece is a good match for you. In return you will receive a prompt and detailed answer. For example, I love to help with sizing! I will do everything I can to help you make sure that a vintage shoe, hat or piece of clothing will be the right fit. If we work together the idea of returning an item would become obsolete.
Additional
Think of buying an item from Dreem Co. as a long distance, long term relationship. I am happy to work with customers long after they have purchased an item to answer questions of any future restoration and preservation issues that may come up over the life time of your vintage fashion piece.
