1940s Black Jersey Dress with Novelty Umbrella Appliqué Studs Royal_Blue_Dress adorned throughout with pink organzaThis late 1930s or early 1940s black and gold rayon crepe dress has delicate gold toned studs across the bodice in the shape of tiny umbrellas. We have never seen this on another vintage piece and this novelty design is perhaps a nod to the surrealist themes of the era. The dress is single layered with a high, sculpted and pleated neckline. The ruched, cropped sleeves are finished with thin gold leather trim. There is a classic drop waist silhouette
