Vintage 1930s / 1940s German Black Flower Print Dress Rayon Handmade (28" Waist)

Description: Vintage 1930s / 1940s black flower print dress that was purchased in Germany a few years ago. MEASUREMENTS (approximate): Bust - 35" Waist - 28" Hips - 35" Length - 40 1/2" Sleeve (shoulder seam to end of cuff) - 19" Neck - 16" Nice rayon dress. It appears handmade. The buttons down the front are decorative - it actually closes with snaps. The cuffs have snaps at the end. The sleeves during this time, tend to be a bit shorter than modern long sleeve dresses. There is black along the shoulders, down the sleeves, on the cuffs and in the front. It has a few split seams. There is some wear on the collar. Overall fairly good condition. See photos for condition. I am wondering if this might be a "make do and mend" piece during either the depression or wartime rationing. Perhaps it was a flower print dress that became damaged and was fixed by adding the black fabric. Or maybe it was made from the start this way because they only had so much print fabric available, so they trimmed it in black as well. Either way, it's a great dress and it has a great German look and feel for the late 1930s / early 1940s. A note on vintage clothing: I am not the original owner of these items, therefore I cannot guarantee their history. I am a non-smoker myself, but can't say the garment has never been around cigarette smoke or moth balls. While I would never list an item I find to have an offensive odor, I cannot ensure buyers (especially those very sensitive to odors) will feel the same as smell is subjective. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: I must declare FULL VALUE on customs forms. This means you may have to pay customs fees upon arrival. Listing and template services provided by inkFrog
