This dress is absolutely divine!
Made in the 1930's from inky black crepe it is bias cut with a v shaped waist insert. The sleeves are the greatest feature of this incredible piece. Deeply slashed from the shoulder to almost the elbow, the fullness in the net and ribbon work design is so hard to show and is so much better in real life.
The whole piece is finished off perfectly with a jabot in the same material as the sleeves.
