Mid-1930s style wool crepe darling

This lovely bottle green wool crepe mid- 1930s inspired dress is an adaptation from an earlier design of mine from 2009, here presented with long raglan cut bishop sleeves and contrasting cream silk cuffs.
The striking large cream silk bow down the front of the bodice with a deep v neckline is typical of the 1930s style and a fantastic contrast to the deep green of the mid- calf length dress. The vintage cream button attached to the little flap on the bodice with an art deco style cut panelling also adds to the eye-catching front. It also features two kick pleats down the front of the skirt. The bodice is gathered at the back. The belt has an original vintage buckle. Two darts at the back of the skirt. Snap fasteners at the side seam.
