Hi all! It feels 30s to me but I keep second guessing myself. Slub rayon with art deco 'belt' and epaulets in soutache and corde. Hard round 30s buttons on the back of the neck. Modern zipper is a replacement. No shoulder pads, no label. Skirt appears to be taken up at some point but is 28.5 inches from the waist to hem with 3 additional inches in the hem. Thanks in advance!
What a great dress. To confuse the issue, I see 1930s. However, not knowing the original length makes it harder to date.
The shoulder treatments have a bit of a military/epaulet vibe so wonder if it could be late 30s/early 40s WW2 impending influence?
