Hands down one of the most amazing 1930s gowns I've had the pleasure to offer! Ivory crepe back, texured satin silk bias cut gown has flat bows atop shirred shoulders, deco rhinestone sash and deep V back. Coordinating capelet has cowl neck in front and rhinestone buttons down back, trimmed all around with a blend of marabou and chicken feathers. The dress is not perfect, sadly...there is a make-up stain cleverly concealed with a period-correct brooch, a few light dots on bodice and couple on front of skirt toward hem (as shown)...a few stress marks on seat of gown. Very faint and worth overlooking when wearing this beauty! Click pictures for more images. 37" bust, 28" waist, 40" hips, 58" long $1400

1930s gown of teal lace over deeper teal acetate taffeta with deep plum velvet trim and straps, bolero jacket. Bridal style buttons up back of dress, massive silk dahlia accent on front.
