Quintessential 1930s art deco bias cut gown made from light as air lemon yellow floral rayon chiffon. This gown has it all: cold shoulder styling, plunging low cut back, endless ruffles, tiered fishtail at the back of the skirt, and even the original matching belt! Cut on the bias for a slinky, flattering fit. This piece feels incredibly modern for something that is nearly 100 years old; it is quite reminiscent Dior by John Galliano. The soft pastel slightly sheer fabric makes this a great dress up or dress down piece- wear it to your next garden party or gala! No side closure, but has a huge amount of bias give and goes on very easily overhead. 

Excellent restored condition. When found, a small (about 3 inch) section of fabric was missing along the bottom hem (most likely from a caught heel) that we have carefully repaired with similar material and it is now completely invisible. Otherwise there a couple very small repaired snags in inconspicuous spots that are similarly completely invisible when worn. Presents as mint condition. 

Measurements:

Has a huge amount of comfortable bias stretch (more than usual); works well for a wide range of sides.

Bust 32-38 in

Waist 25-29 in

Hips up to 39 in

Shoulders open

Armscye 10 in

Length approx 58 in (some variability due to bias cut- will hang longer on the smaller end of the measurements and slightly shorter on the larger end.)

Belt currently set to 29 inch waist, but more holes can easily be added. 

For reference, Dandelion measures 32/26/34 and is 5'9". Shown totally unpinned on model, only belted!
