Sometimes a new little treat is a welcome addition to your summer wardrobe, here in form of a sweet plaid early 1930s style cotton dress, cut on bias very much a trend of the era. It has a cross cut bodice fastening diagonally by large original vintage mother of pearl buttons and the contrasting coloured belt also features an original vintage mother of pearl buckle. The short sleeves’ contrasting navy bell shaped cuffs are a great little detail. Panelling at front of skirt with side pockets and low cut panel at the back. Fastens with snap fasteners at the side.

Hey flapper girl in plaid!

This late 1920s style sweet plaid number is the perfect summer frock.

Following the distinct trend and style of the era where plaid and stripe fabrics were often cut both on grain and bias to create an interesting panelling geometric effect very much in the Art Deco vein as seen here. Also featured is the very popular insertion of a tie. With a peaked drop waist line and pleated skirt it can also be worn with a belt.
