Vintage 1920s 1930s Yellow Silk Dress by 400 Frocks

This vintage dress is a buttery yellow afternoon or day dress, likely dating from the late 1920s to the early 1930s.

The front is adorned with a vertical ruffles on the left side, accented by 4 white buttons.

Delicate vertical pintuck stitching runs down the center of the bodice.

The neckline is slightly squared with cap sleeves.

The waist is slightly dropped which makes me think late
1920s or early 1930s.

The fabric is silk and it was probably made to be a tea dress.

The label says “400 Frocks.”

CONDITION:

The dress has about 4 pin prick holes which I have photographed.

There is a very slight variation of the yellow dye in a few areas which look like possible water marks. I
have also photographed this and the dress is priced
accordingly. The dress does present beautifully.
