1930s Pure Silk & Tulle Lingerie Dress with Butterfly Embroidery | Restored with Antique Appliqué

Ethereal and impossibly delicate, this late-1930s pure silk and tulle slip captures the romantic allure of the Art Deco era. The bodice and hem are adorned with exquisite embroidered butterflies — a motif that symbolized transformation and freedom, often featured in 1930s lingerie and gowns influenced by Parisian couture.

Crafted from whisper-soft blush silk and fine tulle, it features a scalloped silk neckline, sheer shoulder straps, and matching butterfly embroidery along the hem. The waist ties with a blush ribbon, creating an effortlessly feminine silhouette.

A single antique butterfly appliqué was lovingly added to cover a tiny flaw, blending seamlessly into the original design and adding its own layer of history.

An extraordinary and collectible example of 1930s lingerie artistry — poetic, rare, and truly one of a kind.

PLEASE CHECK MEASUREMENTS BEFORE PURCHASE!

Vintage and antique clothing often differ from modern standardized sizes. Many were handmade for an individual, so sizing can vary. Instead of relying on a labeled size, compare the given measurements to a garment that fits you well. If you have any questions about fit, feel free to ask—I’m happy to help!

Condition - Care

• Vintage and antique items have been previously loved, so small imperfections may exist.

• Hand-dyed pieces: Due to the nature of hand-dyeing, colors may not be perfectly even. Please wash these items delicately, preferably alone or with similar colors.

• Antique fabrics (pre-1930s): Delicate materials such as 1920s silk or Edwardian muslin require extra care. These fabrics can be fragile and should be worn loosely to prevent stress or tearing.

Things to Consider for Edwardian & Victorian Clothing:

• A marked XS piece may have medium-sized shoulders and hips but a tiny waist (corset-era sizing).

• Sleeves are often ¾ length, not full-length.

• Buttons may be mismatched due to age and previous repairs.

Shipping - International Buyers

• Ships within 1 business day.

• International buyers: Please provide a phone number for delivery purposes.

• Import taxes/duties are the buyer’s responsibility.
