Vintage 1940s Polka Dot 100% Silk Chiffon Cape Collar Bias Cut Hankerchief Hem Dress - XS
This gorgeous 1940s silk polka dot dress is such a special piece, perfect for springtime soirees, garden parties, and spring and summer weddings alike. It features:
• Polka-dot print in off-white on a black background
• Fit & flare silhouette, fitted at bodice with full skirt
• Scoop neckline with overlay caped collar
• Sleeveless, but cape gives appearance of flutter sleeves
• Lavender ribbon trim
• Ruched waistline detail
• Bias cut
• Handkerchief hem
• Back metal zip closure
• Fully lined in pale pink acetate taffeta
• No fabric labels but shell is clearly a semi-sheer silk chiffon
• No labels
• Based on the style and construction, I estimate this piece dates to the 1940s
• Care: Dry clean only
• This item has been professionally dry cleaned
Excellent vintage condition for its age! Side seams / underarm areas have been mended; see detail photo!
This item would best fit a modern size XS, but please refer to measurements:
• 16" across chest (fits up to 32" chest)
• 16" across under bust
• 14.5"–15" across waist
• Open hips
• 13" shoulder seam to seam
• 16" bodice length
• 38"–52" total length
All measurements are taken flat in inches. When considering fit, compare it to a garment you own that fits well. For chest, waist and hip measurements, double it to get the full circumference.
Modeled on a size S (4-6) petite (5'3"), measurements 34" x 28" x 38"
Fit notes: Fits the model well although a bit snug in bust.
All items are vintage and pre-loved. All major flaws are listed, but small blemishes may not be in the item description as they are to be expected when purchasing vintage items.
We do not accept returns unless you believe an item was misrepresented in our shop. Please feel welcome to ask any questions!
