1930s Cream Silk and Purple Trim Belted Tennis Dress, 40in Bust
A beautiful and elegant 1930s cream tennis dress with a wonderful shot of colour in the lilac piping and the cornflower blue carved buttons. It is incredibly flattering and cool in the warmer weather. The matching belt with carved buckle adds a little shape to the simple cut dress, with the pleat to the skirt adding movement and detail. A wonderful piece for the Summer for the art deco fan.

• 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.
