About the Item
This truly enchanting 1940's crepe silk gown, rendered in the most vibrant shade of vermilion red and embellished with gold lamé soutache embroidery surrounding floral beadwork in shades of blue, red and green, is the perfect show stopper for your vintage collection.
The rounded neckline of the dress, is framed by a simple shoulder line, which is accented by internally sewn shoulder pads along each shoulder seam. The short length petal cut sleeves, cross over in a rounded finish along each external side. The elegant cut of the bodice, is accented by single bust-darts along either side of the bust-line, and tailored darts which run up from the waist-seam. The right hand side of the bodice is intricately decorated with trailing floral embroidery and beadwork. The fitted waistline, draws the eye to the drape of the skirt-line, which is accented by trailing floral beadwork along the front right hand side and along the lower left hand side. Finished with a keyhole feature along the nape and a panelled cut along the back of the skirt-line which creates soft pleats and accents the circle cut of the hemline, completing this gown in a truly magnificent and timeless 1940's silhouette.
