SOLD Absolutely lovely, like new, vintage 1990s April Cornell dress with a definite feeling of the 1930's, this beauty is just scrumptious with its exquisite print of coral and peach flowers on ecru sheer rayon chiffon. This is the high quality, beautiful rayon chiffon that April originally used in her dresses back in the day and which you don't find in her current collections anymore. Beautifully made with lovely details such as wide chiffon back ties, princess seams and a back zipper; the dress is fully lined in sheer ecru woven rayon. Such a timeless, beautiful and wearable vintage style, with a softly drapey line that clings to the body-very vintage 30's! This looks wonderful with my original antique-lace and coral/peach silk roses cloche hat, which you can find in my other listings. PERFECT summer wedding, tea or garden party gown! Like new.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE, please be sure to read ALL of the description especially the measurements and condition, and examine ALL the photos, BEFORE asking questions; and do be absolutely positive this piece will fit your requirements, as there are no refunds or returns. I'm a degreed and experienced textile scientist/antique garment restorer and seamstress, and I very, very carefully note any and all condition issues or repairs to every piece of antique/vintage clothing that I'm selling, so I can't stress enough that even if they're in pristine condition, remember they are all decades old and NOT new clothing, so if you desire modern perfection please don't purchase vintage! I don't do layaways or take offers, so please don't ask, thank you. Jewelry/accessories/props in photos are not included and not for sale.
I love antique and vintage clothing and have collected it for years, as well as having a longtime design career including doing costume & restoration work for major movie studios and museums....I've translated that love to my own contemporary creations as well as now offering some choice pieces of my extremely large collection of vintage and antique beauties!
Though marked a M, please go by the measurements below! Vintage April Cornell dresses are often generously sized.
Bust max: up to about 37"-38", no larger than that
Waist max: up to 34-35", hips are about 44"-46".
Length is 51" from shoulder to hem while on the hanger; this measurement will be a little shorter on a human figure; the dress fits and drapes SO beautifully on the body as you can see. Mannequin is a modern size 6/8 (36-26-36) and a bit too small for the dress, so I'd say a 10/12 could wear this best.
Condition: I can find no flaws on this dress, it looks never worn and is clean, no spots, stains, rips, holes or damages, Just gorgeous! Labels are intact, with the designer's own April Cornell tag.
Please make sure this will suit you as to measurements and style before you purchase; I don't do alterations or accept returns.
Please be sure to read this description completely so that you are aware of and understand all elements, issues and policies before purchasing, thank you! I only ship to buyers who are located in the selected countries listed in the shipping menu, do NOT try to circumvent this by using a third-party shipping service because I will cancel the order.
