Victorian BABE or Gone with the Wind costume babe?

[IsabelFord]

Hello! (first post & grateful for this forum)

I was recently gifted with an jaw-dropping box of dresses, mostly from the 1920s and 30s. The box didnt come with any information (a gift to those who understand ;)).

I am totally stumped one this one! Leaning towards 1940s/50s costume because of its condition, which is near mint, but, i am pretty new at this...

It seems to be made of faille silk, and there are no zippers, only clasps.

The skirt and the top attach to one another, and the belt hides the clasps.

I know my two photos will not help much, but for some reason my other photos are not getting through. I will send some close ups of the clasps and the inside of the skirt, ASAP.

Thanks in advance,

izzzzzy

Hi there, and welcome. If some of your photos won't post, it may be that the files are too large. If you have a way of reducing the file size, you may find they will post ok.

Here's more information on posting photos https://forums.vintagefashionguild.org/threads/faq-how-to-post-a-photo.52756/

Great dress, hope someone can help. But I expect more photos will help

More photos will help, but I see 1930's--sleeves, fabric, shirring, color.

Hi Izzy and welcome to the forums. Like Marian, I see late '30s but more photos will really help.

A month or so later, and here are some more photos! the clasps and internal structure.

I feel the same way about the 1930s vibe...

Thanks so much, I have learned so much from this site. It s very supportive

I think it may be from the teens.

The internal structure does indeed suggest 1910's, but more images of the full dress needed.

I suspect this is a Victorian dress that was substantially remade in the 1930s.
