Era - late 1920s to early 30s Measurements - 43 inches long, fits 32 inch bust, 27 waist, 34 hips, 13 inches across shoulders. Label - none Fabric - silk crepe chiffon over silk Cleaning - This dress has not been cleaned because of it's delicate nature. I. Love. This. Dress. So pretty, pale green crinkled silk chiffon over green silk satin underdress. The front and the back of the neckline is ivory silk lace. The lining is cut into point above the bust on the front and low on the back. On the front at low spot on bust and on the low spot on the back, there are ribbon flowers in peach and pink that peek through the ivory lace. Love that detail. The hem is angled and longer in the back with a bias cut of the crinkled chiffon around the hem. The under dress has another bunch of ribbon roses that peek out. The narrow sheer crinkled chiffon sleeves bell on the end with a panel of ivory lace. Dress closes with hooks down the side. Condition - Fair condition. Both shoulders and underarms are very fragile and have been torn and roughly repaired and torn again. The lining is torn all down the side where the dress hooks. The lining is also torn and resewn down the other side seam. The silk lining does not look like it can be resewn because it would probably keep shattering. The outer chiffon layer actually looks very good as does the ivory silk lace (except around the shoulders and armholes) The green chiffon has an overall lightly dingy or dusty look to it from age. 
 #20-255- Unworn Peach Silk Step-in Teddy - $65.00
Era - 1920s Measurements - 30 inches from shoulder to crotch, 34 inches around lace band, fits 36 inch bust, 38 hips Label - none Fabric - tissue silk Cleaning - because this item is unworn and the fabric is still fresh and crisp, I decided not to wash it, to preserve the unworn feel. It can be hand washed in a mild soap and lay flat to dry. Excellent peach tissue silk teddy, . Straight neckline with wide ivory cotton lace and lace applique on the front of the neck. Silk drawstring ribbon around the top. This piece is step-in style. The crotch does NOT open and the straps do NOT adjust. Two blue rosettes with peach ribbons on the neckline too.

Era - 1920s Measurements - 42 inches long, fits 36 inch bust, 42 hips Label - none Fabric - silk chiffon Cleaning - This dress has not been cleaned because of the age and the delicate condition of the silk Very pretty all sheer ivory creped chiffon dress with tons of beading and rhinestones. Cut straight down the sides with several godets sewn in to make the bottom slightly fuller. The front of the neckline and the upper back has prong set rhinestones and white and clear glass seed beading. There is floral desgin beading down the center front and back panels and on the two fron and back side panels. There is also beadeing and rhinestones around the entire hem, which has pointed edges. The dress closes with side snaps. It is unlined and there is no slip to go under it. Condition - Good condition. It does have a light allover age to it with some small brown age spots. There is a 1 inch hole with 4 small 1/8 to 1/4 inch holes around it under the front of one arm. Very light ring under that same arm. The dress has weakening on the tops of the shoulders with several small holes and a 1/2 inch hole. The shoulders would definately need to be reinforced if you wanted to use the dress as display. The upper back of the dress is thinning within the beading and there are many small holes there. There are many small holes from pin dot to 1/4 inch in size scattered all over the dress, at least 50. Not suitable for wearing because the holes would spread with much movement. But an excellent piece for display and collection.

Era - late 1920s to early 30s Measurements - 56 inches long, fits 34 inch bust, 30 waist, 37 hips Label - none Fabric - rayon lace and tulle over rayon satin Cleaning - This dress has not been cleaned because of the age and delicate nature of the fabric. It would need to be cleaned and repaired by a professional before wearing. Very pretty ivory rayon lace gown, perfect for a vintage wedding. Cut long and straight down the sides with satin underdress. No waistline. There are two angled tiers of lace with tulle edges below the hips. The bottom of the lace layer is full with more tulle edging. The dress closes with hooks down the side. Condition - Good to very good condition. The dress was probably originally white, but it is now ivory from age. It is also lightly dingy/dusty from storage. The hem is dirty. The lace on the tops and the front/backs of the shoulders is weak with seversl holes. The shoulders will need to be reinforced to be able to wear this dress. I see a few small holes along the side opening, but otherwise the lace is very good other than some age spots. The lace and the satin have both been taken in about 2 inches down one side. I don't think you would be able to let out the lace though, it would be a tedious task to remove those stitches without tearing the lace.
