Welcome to Lulu Boop Vintage — a curated world of antique and vintage garments, thoughtfully preserved and reimagined to be worn again. Each piece is one of a kind, carrying its own past and ready to become part of yours.

A rare and exquisitely romantic late-1930s silk lingerie dress in soft antique ivory, featuring delicate hand embroidery and an ethereal butterfly motif across the bodice.

Cut from feather-light silk chiffon or crepe, the gown drapes fluidly from softly gathered shoulders into a flowing skirt that moves beautifully with the body. Fine pintucking shapes the bodice and sleeves, while lace edging frames the neckline with understated elegance. The deep V-back adds a graceful, feminine silhouette typical of pre-war boudoir pieces.

Scattered floral appliqués adorn the skirt, preserving the integrity of the fragile silk while enhancing the poetic, heirloom character of the garment. Additional antique lace appliqués at the bodice were carefully added to reinforce areas of wear and to maintain structural stability, allowing the piece to remain

This dress embodies the quiet luxury of intimate pre-1940s fashion — delicate, refined, and deeply romantic.

Ideal as a boudoir piece, heirloom nightgown, bridal preparation garment, or a rare collectible antique textile.

Wearable antique condition.

Professionally restored with antique lace appliqués to reinforce delicate areas of silk. Minor signs of age and gentle wear consistent with an 80+ year old garment. Structurally sound and beautifully preserved.

Fit & Sizing Notes

Vintage and antique garments do not follow modern sizing standards. Many were handmade or tailored for a specific individual. Size labels are for reference only — measurements are what matter. I’m always happy to help with fit questions.
