1940s Hand-Dyed Cropped Top – Reimagined Vintage with Lace Appliqué
This one-of-a-kind summer top began its life as a 1940s nightgown, but when the skirt was too damaged to save, I knew the bodice deserved a second chance. I carefully hand-dyed the fabric, creating a soft, organic wash of color, and finished the crop using the original hem for a seamless vintage feel. Pinholes were lovingly patched with vintage lace appliqués, turning imperfections into delicate details.
The result? A truly unique piece that blends old-world charm with modern wearability. It’s light, breathable, and perfect for hot summer days or warm evenings out.

PLEASE CHECK MEASUREMENTS BEFORE PURCHASE!
Vintage and antique clothing often differ from modern standardized sizes. Many were handmade for an individual, so sizing can vary. Instead of relying on a labeled size, compare the given measurements to a garment that fits you well. If you have any questions about fit, feel free to ask—I’m happy to help!
Condition & Care
• Vintage and antique items have been previously loved, so small imperfections may exist.
• Hand-dyed pieces: Due to the nature of hand-dyeing, colors may not be perfectly even. Please wash these items delicately, preferably alone or with similar colors.
• Antique fabrics (pre-1930s): Delicate materials such as 1920s silk or Edwardian muslin require extra care. These fabrics can be fragile and should be worn loosely to prevent stress or tearing.
Shipping & International Buyers
• Ships within 1 business day.
• International buyers: Please provide a phone number for delivery purposes.
• Import taxes/duties are the buyer’s responsibility.
• All shipments are insured, and I will assist in managing claims.
