Irma RomeroLeave a comment

Here I present a darling early 1930s inspired cotton dress in a lovely art deco style print. It has a sweetheart neckline with the front yoke forming a very deco geometric double peak. The yoke at the back is cut in a horizontal line. The skirt features two kick pleats down the front and back, divided by triple panelling. The short puffed sleeves also add a lovely summery touch to the dress. The three large original cream bakelite buttons running across the side of the neckline and above one of the pleats creates an interesting asymmetrical effect. The belt features a cream vintage buckle. Closure by snap fasteners at the side.

The mid- 1930s style Jemima dress from one of my past 1930s dress collections in striking printed black viscose/rayon that I made for the lovely Cathrine. It features a geometric art deco style cut panelling down the front of the skirt and also on the front of the bodice with mirroring large rust coloured vintage bakelite buttons. The gathered 2/3 length sleeves , the bow and large collar fastening with an eye and hook also bring something very typically thirties to this darling piece. The belt also has a vintage buckle.

This gorgeous early 1930s style number in white and navy viscose rayon was just something I had to try. Being a big fan of stripey and check fabrics cut in contrasting panels, this clearly represents the popular cuts of the era. Very geometric art deco in style featuring a large collar, yet another classic of the 1930s, a v-shaped insert on the bodice , both front and back and the triangular pockets. It also has vintage bakelite buttons and buckle in navy.

With side snap fastening.

This lovely mid-1930s style novelty print rayon crepe dress is quite the eye- catcher.

With a large pointed collar, very fashionable of the era, and the panel in the bodice with a contrasting black rayon crepe insert adds an interesting detail to the dress.

The 3/4 length puff sleeves , gathered at the hem also add an rather interesting touch.

The dress has a kick pleat at the front of the skirt, and a belt with black crepe contrasting piping and a beautiful Art Deco cream/yellow buckle.

Snap fasteners at the side and hook and eye closure at the back of neck.
