RARE Vintage 1930s Art Deco Black Ecru Tambour Leaf Lace Sheer Gown Formal Dress - XS to SM
WOW! Definitely a piece for a vintage collector. The lovely sheer black gown is a great piece to stun at any event! It can be worn with our without a slip, depending on how daring you wish to be! I could see it being absolutely gorgeous with a black bodysuit underneath. The dress is a pull-over, but it does also zip up the side with metal Talon zipper. Fabric feels like a cotton netting with floral or leaf ‘lace”pattern throughout (see close up) As such I believe this is called Ecru Tambour Lace. It is completely sheer and very delicate. There are straps inside, near the shoulders. I highly recommend getting assistance given its delicacy so that its easier to put this on and not mix up the strap and armholes. Model is shown with slip (which is not part of this piece). There is no size or maker tag, but Taylon zipper looks like it comes from the mid to late 30s. Would likely best fit a modern Extra Small, maybe a Small - but please see measurements. For reference model is modern women’s size 4/6 and while it did work, it was VERY difficult to get into and the collar did not seem to lay quite right on her (her shoulders seemed to broad). Dress form is size 0 and it seemed to fit beautifully.

Good vintage condition - Some overall wear. Great shape for its age and fabric type, but please note it is super DELICATE! The sheer fabric does have some wear/faint fade. Some small areas of holes. There are also some areas where the “lace” is coming loose and some loose threads here and there. Some faint spotting to piece. The collar does like to flop a bit.
Please note, model is wearing it with a slip and the slip is not included with the piece.
All measurements are approximate as they are taken flat - for garments specifically this means where applicable (bust, waist, hips) has been doubled unless stated otherwise.
