This thirties dress and jacket set are beautiful. It is getting harder and harder to find pieces from this era is this kind of quality. The dress is bias cut and made form a textured silk crepe that is covered in a bright and vibrant floral print. It is completely cut on the bias so drapes and moves to fit you perfectly from the second you slip it over your head. The front is cut in a halter style with a double set of tiny straps from which the entire dress suspends. I love how the fabric is folded over at the neckline for added detail and how the back dips down to show a little skin. Below the bodice the silk skims over the waist and flows into the skirt which then sweeps to somewhere between mid-calf or ankle depending on your height. Topping this is a little open, cropped jacket made of the same fabric. It has little cuffed capped sleeves which perfectly tie into the bodice on the dress. The silk is light in weight and moves beautifully. The colors are pretty and feminine with that gorgeous abstract floral design covering the entire surface. Truly a beauty and one of the best of the period I have had in. Excellent condition
Both pieces are unlined. The jacket slip on with no front closures and the dress has a small opening at the back that closes with hook and eye bit otherwise just slips over the head. Some boning at the back along where it hooks to close to keep it from dropping down. Hand finished. The bias cut does allow for some give and the measurements are what is the comfortable range while lying flat
