1940s Darnell Evening Gown - Gold - product shot

You...winsome and desirable in cascades of sumptuous satin. Hear them gasp as you enter the room...breathtaking beauty.

Based on an original American 1940s evening gown - this dress is a pattern genius. Note the deep shoulder tucks creating a deep plunging neckline and which flow into a fan of darts into the waist. Mirrored by the iconic 1940s peg style skirt which enhances the hips and cascades to the floor. The skirt is a wrap style but modesty retained via a few stitches just above the knee.

Shoulder pads enhance the bust and create that iconic 1940s silhouette to enhance the waist which is nipped in via self covered belt.

Key features include:-

- plunge neckline
- shoulder pads
- back zip
- self covered belt
- pleats at top shoulder
- fan darts at centre front
- split front wrap skirt

Made to order in Great Britain - not made to measure. Please note, if dress doesn't fit, it can be returned.
