Description: VERY FRAGILE COLLECTOR PIECE! Ultra rare 1920s/1930s Silk TIE DYE shift dress with matching silk jacket and attached scarf Great historical piece showing the history of early tie dyeing in USA! Few survived! “During the 1920s and 1930s, tie-dyeing was promoted as an especially suitable and fashionable hobby for thrifty, sensible women... American women of the same era recognized the appeal of refreshing tired fabrics with new, vivid patterns—thanks especially to inexpensive dyes—and tie-dyeing saw a brief surge of popularity during the Great Depression. Sadly, few Jazz Age tie-dyes have survived with their colors intact, casualties of the poor fade-resistance of many American dyes from that time.” -Science History Institute Very fragile, DAMAGED condition. NOT recommended for wearing! Recommended for display/museum/study only. Typical condition issues with antique silk. Holes and areas of shattered silk all over but most noticeably on the jacket sleeves, dress shoulders, and skirt. Previous owner used reinforcing tape inside the skirt to attempt to repair one section. Small Neck scarf has discoloration and damaged ends. Sold As Is! Not lined. No labels. Appears handmade.
