SOLD

C.1938-44 Very late 30s or early 40s sit in a plus size. The jacket of the suit is sheer with black silk cord trim that covers the jacket in a swirling design. The center front closes with clear buttons and a hook at the center waist. The center front placket, collar, sash tie and skirt are all made out of silk crepe. The sash tie is an extension of the banded collar and there is a pea size hole on the sash, right side just at the point where collar becomes tie. This is hidden when the sash is tied. The hem was out of the skirt when I got it and I have left it out for the new owner to create the perfect length to the skirt for her.

Black Crepe Evening Gown

C. 1940s Black silk crepe evening gown with thin spaghetti shoulder straps. The left side of the bodice is draped to the left and cartage pleated into the center front button placket. The left bust is gathered into the right side bust seam and the left side seam. The left draping is only over the left bosom whereas the right side is draped over the whole right side bodice. Below the left bosom the fabric is secured into a flat button panel. What is also very interesting in this gown is that it is all reversed. The zipper is on the right side and the buttons are set up in reverse too. It has always seemed to me that side seam zippers where placed for right handed people so maybe this is a custom gown built for a left handed person??? Anyway to continue with the description of the construction. The right hand draping design is continued into the skirt. The buttons with their welt buttonholes are all decoration. The right side of the bodice is shirred at the side seam at the zipper. The skirt wraps around and laps left over right with a rounded center front bottom corner. The gown's bodice is lined with a sheer black rayon and also has an inner waist-tape to maintain the position of the gown at the waist. 

SIZE: BUST-36, WAIST-30, HIPS-36, BODICE LENGTH-18, DRESS LENGTH-58

CONDITION: Excellent
