- green crepe like main body with gored skirt and bloused bodice
- large belled sleeves

- Vionnet was known for her V shapes in her fashion and this dress shows that with the neckline and sleeve design
- seam under bustline comes below bust and above natural waist with the area above top gored seams being where the natural waist would be and the belt should go
- please ask for additional images as I can only upload 10

Brand/label/care: Adaptation Vionnet Paris, (where side closure was, copyright label with number 119700 on it but was sewn over when side was closed)

Condition: good
- dress has old alterations where it was taken in full length of side seams and sleeves twice, when taken in, snap side closure was sewn up and snaps removed
- underarm discoloration in a few spots pointed to in images, some other spots of discoloration on arm and front body of dress
- dress possibly was originally an evening gown and taken up to below the knees
- a handful of pinholes with a couple of them on then back neckline with old darns
- one small section of the hemline was down and I restitched it along with reinforcing the corners of the neckline where it had old tucks that were coming unstitched
- seam stress on side seams below hips (worst being 1. 5ml wide)
- rust on back neck keyhole hook and eye along with an old snag area where hook missed eye and hooked embroidered mesh instead
- embroidery colors have faded from what they originally would have been but still shows up bold due to the design
