This is a stunning 30s/40s dark periwinkle crepe evening gown. This gown is just stunning. The best part for me is that it is encrusted in hundreds of handset rhinestones. The gown has a higher crew neckline with short dolman sleeves. The gown has a side placket that fastens with snaps and a hook and eye. The gown also has 4 buttons at the nape of the neck and then it has a wonderful and sexy keyhole back. The skirt of the gown is fun as it has two layers. The top layer falls below the knees and is covered in rhinestones. The hem of this layer has horsehair on the inside so that it has structure and hangs away from the dress giving it a wonderful full style. The bottom layer is just plain and falls to the floor under the top layer.

Condition:

The gown is overall in great condition having only a small amount of fading; most noticeably on the front of the gown as it is a periwinkle color. The fading does not take away from just how stunning this gown still is. This gown has been professionally hand laundered and is ready to wear.

(The dress has been pinned to fit the mannequin)
