This breathtaking 1930's gold satin dress, is a rare piece to behold and never again find.
Her wonderful wide neckline, is framed by a shawl collar, that gathers in pleats along the shoulder seams, allowing for the collar to drape along the décolletage and backline, as it joins the central seam of the bodice . Her fitted bodice, is accented by the central seam that gathers the satin in elegant pleats that radiate to either side of the bust-line and bodice. Her cinched in waistline, sets off the wonderful full circle and bias cut of the skirt, that drapes elegantly, creating a timeless 1930's silhouette.
This dress is a handmade piece.
