Rendered in the softest shade of peach netted lace, with a delicate repeat embroidered floral pattern, this original 1930's gown, is just the piece to add to your vintage collection.
The elegant V shaped neckline, is framed by pleated and gathered tulle along the edges of the sweetheart cut design of the décolletage. The triple straps, rendered in a soft shade of blush rayon, join together centrally along the shoulder line, and radiate outwards joining the top of the bodice. The bust-line is accented by gathered pleats along the décolletage which radiate along either side of the cups, drawing the eye to the central pointed seam along the front of the bodice. The decadent panelled cut of the lace overlay, drapes along the silhouette and is edged with mesh tape along to hemline, which accents the movement and subtle pleats along the skirt-line. The blush coloured rayon lining, is cut along the bias, allowing of the lace overly to drape along the silhouette.
