1930s Chiffon Rose Print Lame Dress

About the Item

This 1930s chiffon dress has a beautiful rose pattern print and features delicate champagne coloured lame detail. It is cut in a classic bias cut shape, with a lightly weighted cowl neck finish. The fabric is an ever so slightly sheer chiffon in a deep black colour, with a pink rose lame design that repeats with several different sizes of the same rose. It has a beautiful V shaped seam detail to the front and under the bust, with delicate cap sleeves and a narrow waistbelt with a small, bow shaped diamante clasp. The dress is cut longer at the back than at the front, which creates a beautiful, train like effect to the rear hem. For a dress of this age, it is an exceptional example; in wonderful vintage condition without fault. There are no issues with the fabric and it appears unaltered. Unlabelled but a well-made couture piece from the period. The timeless appeal of lame and a classic design make it perfect for modern day dressing, either for a formal occasion or as part of a more everyday outfit, as shown on our model. Sally is a UK size -10 and had some fun showing us how versatile this piece is dressed down with a leather belt and boots! Due to its bias-cut shape, it would best suit a size 8 to small 12 UK, or 4-8 US. MEASUREMENTS Bust - 39 in. (99.1 cm) Waist - 32 in. (81.3 cm) Hip - 44 in. (111.8 cm) Length - 56 in.

However, just a few days later, on July 15th, 1997, Gianni was tragically murdered outside his Miami Beach home. Despite his untimely death, his contributions to the world of fashion continue to be celebrated, and his legacy remains an inspiration too many. This collection is iconic as it’s the final collection before his passing. The collection very much showed a new direction for the house.
