  • 1940's Saks Fifth Avenue Ivory-Creme Beaded Chiffon One-Shoulder Goddess Gown

    ID: 09151715
    Size: small
    Condition: Excellent

     Ethereal 1940's Saks Fifth Avenue ivory-creme goddess gown from the Old Hollywood era of glamour. This stunning silk-chiffon garment has so much couture detail, you can tell it was made with expert devotion. The boned sweetheart plunge bodice is hand-pleated and hand-stitched into place with a unique asymmetric one-shoulder draped train. As pictured, there are a few different ways you can style the sash. Sparkling white glass-beads and sequins, in a gorgeous vine motif, cascade down the front. I love the hourglass nipped-waist which flows into a beautiful full sweep. Truly, this gown would have taken days to finish. A pure work of art and a study in dressmaking technique which reminds me of the famous Jean Desses. Breathtaking and timeless; I totally imagine this gliding down the red carpet!

    Measurements
    Bust: 35-36 inches
    Waist: 27 inches
    Hips: Swing Sweep
    Total Length: 57 inches

    This vintage Saks Fifth Avenue designer gown is in excellent condition with no rips, holes or missing beadwork. Perfectly working duel side metal-zippers and bodice boning. Only sign of age is some minor underarm marks which are not noticeable when worn. This beauty is over 60 years old and is truly breathtaking.
