1930s ivory rayon crepe gown with V seams on bodice and skirt.  One side of the dress has a horizontal waist seam, the other does not.  The bust/back seaming is the same so the dress can be worn either way.  I've shown it with the waist seam at back.  There are belt loops but. no belt, I've styled it with another belt from a different 30s gown in some of the photos.  Hemline is very full.

Nice condition with some flaws which aren't really noticeable.  A few areas of wear which present as pinholes, see photos.  I did soak this gown and most of the staining came out.  Perhaps with a more aggressive/targeted treatment, the rest could be lifted entirely.  I didn't go further as what's left is very faint.  There are some scattered spots near the hemline (pinhead sized) as well some darkening. These flaws didn't show up in photos. Because the hemline is so full, you can't really see them. Some faint darkening at the underarms, again, not noticeable when worn.  

Dress is shown on a size 2 form.  Because it's bias cut, it stretches quite a bit with the exception of the bust because of the seaming.  I'd recommend a maximum of 34" for comfort.  No closures, the dress slips on over the head.
