1940s Satin and Lamé Gown | S

vintage early 1940s

silvery off-white rayon satin with enchanting woven floral design that shifts like a shadow depending on the lighting. woven throughout with stripes of pewter lamé. a really fabulous textile! fitted bodice with collar and boning at the side seams. extremely full sweeping bias cut skirt. metal "V" zip up the back. with matching open-front  bolero. all fully lined. corsage not included.

unlabeled. appears of home make

sizing: small

bust: 33"-34" tight
waist: 27"
hips: free
bodice length: 16"
total length: 54"

good condition. freshly laundered and sturdy. some scattered flaws. of note: small repair to reattach collar to neckline, some faint discoloration to side seams of bodice caused by metal boning, a couple other small scattered marks on bodice, some minimal losses to lame threads, some faint yellowed storage lines in the skirt that generally get lost in the drape. slightly uneven hem, again, lost in drape. of homemade quality with some little quirks in construction and details.
