Original late 1930s bias cut evening gown in ivory water silk and scarlet red crepe.
This is a sensational design with high contrast colouring and beautiful fabrics.
The dress has a classic late 1930s wartime design with a sweetheart neckline, puff sleeves and panel cut shaping to the waist.
The skirt is bias cut, full length with a flare and is hemmed in this gorgeous lipstick red silk crepe. This same red crepe covers tiny buttons the whole length of the dress and acts as a delicate facing along the neckline and cuff.
