Did you just die a little? I did too when I first saw this! My client swears it is Claire McCardell and I find it hard to disagree. It does not have a McCardell tag present however so is priced accordingly, if that tag was there this would be several hundred dollars higher! It's an extraordinary piece and an absolute wonderful, unusual design that really adds to the conviction that this is indeed a McCardell piece. Wonderfully full puffed style bloomer bottoms are striped in cream and red on cotton. Each leg has an elastic - that elastic and the flat knife pleats at the waist help create that fantastic, full shape! The bodice is cut to fit and one whole side buttons up in a precise, tight row of buttons. One tie is short and hooks into place and the other extra extra long and ties. Absolute amazing piece of fashion and of history! Excellent, unworn condition. I have added some pictures so you can see some McCardell pieces that are similar in structure (all are in museum collections). Most telling is the dress - it's the same striping fabric and plain cream fabric on the top - I would imagine that this is from that same collection! Bust: approx 15ish” from side seam to side seam Will fit an A- B cup Waist: 12” flat across the back from side seam to side seam Hips: open Total length: approx 32” from top of shoulder strap to bottom hem The front of the play suit has an extra lining of cotton. The rest of the suit is unlined. The strap that crosses the front hooks into place and the other is longer and ties. It closes at the waist with a metal zipper and the a row of buttons up one side. There is a pocket on each side. The original Saks tag is still present as shown! It can be hand washed when cleaned again in the future. Modern Sizing equivalent: XS-SML (0-6)

Stunning pair of authentic spiderweb novelty leather shoes dating back to the mid 1920's. Believe it or not, they even come with their original Harris Shoe Store box covered with a matching spiderweb print. The rising hemlines of this era focused attention on the exposed leg and foot. During this extravagant time, the demand for luxury shoes was met by an explosion of artistic expression through fashion. The detailed cutwork and chic t-strap construction with button buckle is extremely art-deco. I also adore the black and red color combination. A rare museum worthy find! Measurements US size: 6.5-7 Ball of foot: 3 inches Total Length: 10.25 inches Height of heel: 2 inches These 1920's Harris Shoes Store high-end designer shoes are in wonderful condition with no rips, stains or discoloration.
