Vintage formal dress in soft peach chiffon with delicate lace bodice and flowing skirt (full enough for a crinoline, but we like the old-Hollywood look without). Beautifully finished with picot stitching on both layers and lots of hand stitching throughout. Closes with a metal "double Talon" side zipper. From the late 1930s. From the Hamilton estate.

Fiber/Care: no tags, feels like silk chiffon and lace, but most likely high-quality rayon or a blend, dry-clean

Condition: a few spots and light smudges as shown, all hidden amongst the folds of the skirt and inconspicuous in natural light. the lace has some breaks at the armscyes, which make no difference so we left them alone. presents as perfect.
