Here’s a great example of the fondness of statement bows in dresses in the 1930s. The large bow in this early 1930s style dress in raised textured viscose tencel is part of the attached bias cut yoke which is folded to create a bow down the front of the bodice. The back also has a yoke cut on the bias. The puffed long bishop style sleeves have widish cuffs adorned with decorative fabric covered buttons. The dress fastens with snap fasteners at the side. The belt features a lovely square black bakelite buckle.

This beautiful summer dress in large polka dot viscose rayon with a statement white rayon crepe bow screams 1930s all over! It features butterfly sleeves and the very art deco style square panelling at the front and back of the skirt which also has kick pleats on both sides. Double darts at the front and back give a bit more shape to the dress. The bow fastens with a snap at the collar. Snap fastening at the side. The belt features a cream vintage bakelite buckle.
