1930's Beaded Silk Bias-Cut Dress

Once in a lifetime you will find that special one--that dress like no other.  This is it.  The design is incredible.  Bias-cut beige silk that hugs the body, intricate beading on a netted bodice, and the sleeves!--Look at those sleeves!  Simply stunning and unique.

Beauty Marks:  Unfortunately this dress has a couple flaws to point out.  I wouldn't offer it if I didn't feel it was wearable--but I want everyone to know what to expect.  There a couple of the lower buttons that appear to be crushed (see photo). The sleeves are tight in the forearm--you may want to remove them and just have the puffed short sleeves. There is a faint mark on the left front thigh area (see photos).  Just right of the neckline center, the beaded netting has a tear (see photo).  I find that this turn under quite easily, so as not to be noticed. Lastly the train, which is long and luscious, has some traffic marks--nothing that doesn't get enveloped by the rest of the fabric...and in case you've never encountered it before, the inside bottom hem is covered in a masking tape sort of material.  It doesn't show on the outside, but seems a little strange when you first notice it.
