A really wonderful vintage 1930s two-tone hostess gown or house dress, made from rayon crepe fabrics, one with a bold multicoloured abstract floral print & the other with small posies on a black background. It has Princess seam construction, a pointed collar, & long slim sleeves with pleated heads; it opens most of the way down the front (so that you have to step into it) with a silver metal "Flit British" zip with attached fabric cord & ball, and there are belt loops with a matching tie belt at the waist. No labels present.
