This elegant 1940's gown, rendered in the softest shade of ivory silk rayon, set off by ivory floral lace, is just the piece to welcome to your lingerie collection.
The elegant sweetheart cut neckline, is edged with a border of floral lace along the top of the bodice, above a drawstring feature, which fastens centrally along the décolletage in a bow, drawing in the lace and rayon in elegant pleated gathers along the bust-line. The lace panel below the bust-line, accents the fitted cut of the bodice, whilst setting off the figure flattering bias cut of the skirt-line. Finished with wide sill rayon shoulder straps, that set off the sleeveless cut, this gown skims the silhouette whilst showcasing the iconic design of the era.
