1930s Cream Silk and Purple Trim Belted Tennis Dress, 40in Bust

• Warm cream colour similar to the close ups
• Sleeveless
• Pleats to the shoulders
• Fold down collar
• Fastens with blue and cream carved buttons to the front
• Piping to front
• Faux pockets to hips with lilac piping and carved blue and cream buttons
• Pleat to front
• Belt loops and matching belt with grey plastic carved buckle
• Piping to the back
• Made from a light weight soft silk
• No fastenings, please be aware that this slips over your head so I would advise being smaller than the below measurements due to the delicacy of the fabric
• Unlined

There are a few faults that you would expect from a dress this old and delicate. There is a small amount of staining to the hem, a mend to the top of the pleat, an original mends to each shoulder and one to the hip (which I have left as is). All seen in photos.
