Goddess-style chiffon evening dress, 1940s
This brilliant silk chiffon evening dress evokes the Greek goddess style with its long floating scarf, which is attached in front to one of the shoulder straps. It can be artfully draped across your bare shoulders. The tangerine color is to die for.
The boned bodice is covered with overlapping, bias-cut panels of chiffon. The graceful skirt features double layers of chiffon. The dress is totally lined with slightly lighter silk crep de chine. It closes in back with a hand-stitched metal zipper.
The scintillating evening gown is drop dead gorgeous. It could have been worn—on or off the screen—by Hollywood's love goddesses in their most glamorous roles: Marlene Dietrich (Shanghai Express), Carole Lombard (My Man Godfrey) or Rita Hayworth (Gilda).
The condition is excellent. It is clean and ready to wear.
It measures: 36" bust, 25" waist, 44" hip, 16" from shoulder to waist, and 56" from shoulder to hem.
