Stunning couture early 1930s dress by Blackshire Paris New York, two piece gown lace and florals
$875.00
A Lacey Floral Couture 1930s Dreem...
Design - This exquisite gown comes from early couture house Blackshire in a two piece soft lace and vibrant floral patterning. The under-dress is like a dress in and of itself. It features a drop waist and has its own silk satin lining with a sheer point top above the breast and classic low cut armholes with a layered lace bottom that falls into a train in the back. The under-dress is made longer than the dress so that the layered lace ruffles flow around the floor of the wearer like black water. The lace overdress is made from the softest lace I've ever known and features a vibrant patterning of purple pink and green floral bunches throughout with the fallen poesy or violet fluttering among the soft lace all on its own. The dress is cut on the bias and has a high front that's cut to the collar bone and a large open keyhole back that buttons with two tiny buttons. The soft, drapey puff sleeves are just so elegant and go almost to the elbow. The skirt of the dress becomes flowing at its base as it swims among the layers of the under-dress. This dress is definitely still holding style elements of the 1920s. A very ethereal early 1930s couture example of the pure elegance of the time.

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.
