1940s Bemberg Rayon Floral Spring Swing Dress

This is a beauty! Scoop neckline, fitted bodice and full swirling skirt! The bodice is trimmed with rhinestones and faux pearls, but best of all a couple of the flowers are trapunto, meaning they’ve been stuffed with batting and then stitched around for a 3D effect. Measures 16” across the shoulders, 38” through the bust, 28” at the waist, full through the hips and length is 47”. Has cap sleeves and metal zipper. Fabric is semi-sheer, floaty rayon bemberg. No label, no lining. Excellent condition with no holes or stains, but original belt is missing and the hem is out. The bias tape is there so it can be easily hemmed to any length you like. True colors are medium and light dusty blue and white.

1940s Rayon Faille Wedding Gown with Train and Slip

Dress measures 15” across the shoulders, 34” through the bust, 25” at the waist, full through the hips and length is 56” to center front and 67” to center back of train. Length from top of shoulder to waist is 17”. Sleeves are 24” long from shoulder seam to cuff; they come to a point at the wrist and fasten with covered buttons and fabric loops. Slip measures 33” through the bust, 24” through the waist, full through the hips and length is. Fabric is rayon sharkskin dress, rayon taffeta slip. No label, no lining. Good condition with no holes; slip needs seam repair above zipper (see close-up) and dress has foxing; brown spots from storage. I haven’t tried to clean it but I think there’s a good chance it will clean up. As wild as it sounds, you could hand clean this because there’s no lining. Oxy Clean will almost surely lighten the spots considerably, but pressing it will be a project. True color is winter white. Very simple, elegant design with fitted bodice, and flaring skirt, fitted sleeves with buttons at wrist and lace trim around neckline. Both pieces have metal side zippers.
