Black rayon velvet evening dress, 1930s
Reviewing the Spring 2009 runway couture shows in Paris, one theme stands out. Top couturiers are intuiting what women will want during a severe recession. The soundings are coming up 1930s, a time of seductive glamour against the odds.
When the Roaring Twenties ended with the stock market crash of 1929, boyish straight flapper styles gave way to feminine curves and body conscious cuts. In our seductive evening dress, fine beige lace framed against luxe black velvet will win all hearts!
The beguiling velvet dress, artfully cut in concentric rings that conform to the underlying curves of the body, gracefully skims the hips before flaring out in the circular lower skirt. The additional flare of the lower skirt is supported with black taffeta lining. The dress closes on one side with hooks.
I love the low cut neckline, framed with a draped collar flounce of beige lace. This one is perfect for dancing!
The condition is excellent and wearable.
It measures: 35" bust, 30" waist, 38" hip, 17" from shoulder to waist, and 56" from shoulder to hem.
