"Pink Daffodils" Vintage 1940's Black Silk Daffodil Print & Sequin Dress UK 12 US 8
This truly breathtaking 1940's back silk dress, with a pattern of pink daffodils with bright green stems, accented by sequins along the neckline, is the perfect piece for your vintage wardrobe.
Her wide cut neckline is set off by the scalloped design of the edges of flowers, decorated in turn with pink and black sequins along the front of the neckline. Her short length sleeves, set off the elegant bodice, with double dart seams that run up from the waistline. Her cinched in waist, is accented by a matching silk waist tie. Her elegant skirt, boasts radiating sewn seams along the front of the left hipline, creating an elegant draped detail to the silk skirt.
Label: None
Measurements of the Dress
Armpit to Armpit: up to 36 inches.
Shoulder to Hem: 42 inches
Waist: up to 31 inches
Neckline to End of Sleeve: 6.5 inches
Hips: 40 inches
Shoulder to waist: 16 inches
Size: UK 12 US 8
Closures: This dress fastens to the side with 3 metal press studs, and to the back of the neckline with a press stud.
Condition: This dress is in good vintage condition. I believe that the neckline has been slightly modified, it appears that there may have been a layer of tulle, which has since been removed. This isn't in any way noticeable, or affect the integrity of the dress.
Very light yellowing to some of the floral patterns along the back of the neckline.
A few scattered age marks along the back left hand seam of the skirt. Scattered age marks along the front of the skirt, and one to the bodice. Thankfully these are very well concealed within the daffodil print, and not overly apparent when the dress is being worn.
Washing instructions: This garment should be dry cleaned or hand washed in cool water.
Fabric: silk, sequins
