Hear them murmur. "Who is SHE?" as you make a dramatic entrance in this enchanting velvet dress. (Taken from Sears catalogue 1938)
We are delighted with this gorgeous new velvet party dress design - which is based on the gorgeous style lines of the late 1930s and has some fantastic and authentic features.
Stunning deep blend of dusky rose purple, with a luxurious velvet texture that beautifully reflects light in varying environments, creating an enchanting interplay of colours that feels as opulent as it looks.
Dress has a plunge neckline created by tucks and gathers of fabric high into the flattering high back neck. This emphasises the bust-line and gathers into authentic style shirring underneath. Skirt skims the body to create a flattering a-line skirt - just enough swing.
Sleeves finish just above the elbow and are very authentic in style. Tucks into the shoulder and has pretty vertical gathers towards the bottom of the sleeve.
Side Zip - unlined.
Key Features:-
- pleated plunge neckline with high back neck
- shirring under bust
- elbow length sleeves - gathered into shoulder
- side zip
Produced onsite in viscose blend velvet from local velvet manufacturer.
Fabric care: Dry clean only
