Age of Velvet Dress?

[Joji Furukawa]

I found this beautiful blue velvet dress at the thrift store yesterday hanging on the Halloween rack for $3.99. I though it might be 1930s but I’d just like to confirm. Originally it looks like there might have been ruching at the neck. I apologize for the photo quality, this fabric is tricky to photograph. The seams are all cut and sewn however the hem has been serged. I was thinking 1930s because of the bias cut as well as the sleeve caps.

I want to go to your thrift!!! Yes, it definitely looks 1930s to me. What a beauty!

Stunning! 1930s I agree!

Yes, I agree with 30s and I would like to find something of the sort on the Halloween rack at my local thrift stores.

Thank you all for the help! I figured if I didn’t buy it, it would get cut up or covered in fake blood.
