  • 1930's Beaded Ivory Silk-Velvet Cut Out Shoulders Bias-Cut Old Hollywood Gown

    ID: 1226242
    Size: small
    Condition: excellent

     

    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. 

    Measurements (varies due to bias cut design)
    Bust: 32-35 inches
    Waist: 25-28 inches
    Hips: Best up to 38 inches
    Total Length: 60 inches

    This remarkable 1930's gown is in beautiful condition with no serious holes, missing beadwork or alternations. Slips on over the head with side metal closures. Only sign of age is one faint pin-sized mark to the side bodice. Please message for detailed. A truly epic, breathtaking look from almost 100 years ago.
