I don't really do vintage clothing because I need my clothes to be serviceable, but my neighbour gave me her mother's dress from the 1930s and I absolutely love it.
Notes on the dress below the cut:
This dress is machine sewn and hand finished. The buttons are real and there's two side zippers. The lowered cartridge pleats on the skirt is so weird but it's growing on me.
There's nice big shoulder pads in there
The miracle is that this dress is not adjustable at all. There's snaps on the collar and the belt and both of these are exactly my size. (The arms are admittedly a little tight).
The finishing of this dress is a nightmare, it's hand finished and all the thread on the hem dissapeared in the wash. I had to rehem the whole skirt, sleeves (and reinforce the collar).
This means it's not really suited for daily wear (it also releases a ton of dye in the wash) but it was wonderful for my sister's 1930s party and I'm gonna keep it safe for the next opportunity.
