About the Item

A luminous 1930s evening gown by Viola Gowns rendered in a soft, warm peach tone. This floor-length dress is an exquisite example of early American couture, crafted from whisper-weight silk crepe and layered with a gossamer floral lace overlay that dances in the light. The silhouette features a wide scoop neckline, a softly fitted bodice, and a subtly dropped waistline that transitions into a gently gathered skirt, creating romantic movement and flow. Cut on the bias, the dress clings and drapes with graceful fluidity. The rear of the gown is particularly striking, featuring a sheer silk chiffon panel that reveals the shoulders and upper back with delicacy and restraint. The lace overlay continues down to a scalloped hem, which enhances the garment’s feminine detailing and reinforces its artisanal quality. This piece exemplifies the elegance and ingenuity of 1930s American eveningwear—melding the sensuality of lingerie-inspired design with the sophistication of Old Hollywood glamour. The gown is unlabelled aside from the original Viola Gowns embroidery and remains a testament to the craftsmanship of the era. Condition: The exterior lace and silk overlay are in excellent vintage condition, with no visible stains or structural flaws. The interior lining, however, is in delicate condition. There are consistent tears throughout. The piece is very rare, so removing the lining is recommended.
