PRODUCT DETAILS

This enchanting very late 1940s to early 1950s purple silk chiffon evening gown is labelled "Baroque London" and is clearly of exceptional quality with some exquisite design features. The dress is of finely pleated chiffon fabric in deep purple with a gathered scoop neckline and short elasticated puff sleeves. There is delicate embroidery running in vertical stripes over the bust and sleeves in fine metallic thread interspersed with tiny rocaille beads. The high waistband is wide set to accentuate the bust and hips, with a charming belt feature in matching fabric with a purple leather backing. The floor sweeping skirt is gathered below the waistband and descends over the hip with a wonderful fluidity of movement. The dress is lined throughout in raspberry pink silk blend fabric with a concealed zip fasting to the left of the bodice. In superb vintage condition, this opulent piece has retained all of its vibrancy and would fit up to US size 6, UK size 10. MEASUREMENTS: BUST - 34 in. (86.36 cm) WAIST - 28 in. (71.12 cm) HIP - 36 in. (91.44 cm) LENGTH - 55 in. (139.7 cm)
