An enchanting an ultra rare intricately beaded ivory silk velvet bias-cut gown from the 1930's 'Old Hollywood' era of glamour. Think Jean Harlow, draped in luxurious, soft silk velvet with a subtle sheen that shimmers with every movement. The bias-cut shape is the epitome of figure-flattering elegance, sculpting the body in all the right places. The impressive beadwork along the neckline and shoulders adds a touch of ethereal magic to this special piece. I absolutely adore the dramatic cut-out puffed sleeves with pointy wrists. The skirting skims the hips and creates an elongated, statuesque silhouette. Definitely a type of garment that would have influenced John Galliano while he was working at Christian Dior. With its impeccable craftsmanship, rare ultra soft silk velvet fabric and historical nature, this gown would make a perfect modern bridal look or epic red carpet moment.
