This elegant 1930's gown, rendered in the softest shade of cream silk, decorated with tulle and cream and taupe floral lace accents, is just the piece to welcome to your lingerie collection.
The elegant rounded neckline, is framed by a border of tulle backed lace, which joins centrally with three pearlescent button and loop fastenings along the décolletage. The eye-catching shoulder straps, rendered in matching lace, boast delicate scalloped lace edgings along each side. Each arm hole is edged with a slim panel of lace. The bias cut of the bodice is set off by a central rounded seam below the bust-line, from which two matching silk ties begin, drawing in the gown along the back of the dress with a simple bow. The bias cut of the skirt line, skims the silhouette and features a detailed central vent along the front of the hemline, within a delicate lace panel and lace edged hemline. Finished with a rounded backline, accented by a central keyhole feature, completing this piece in a timeless and intricate 1930's design.
