Hollywood Regency Sheer Brown Lace Ankle-Length Capelet Gown and Slip - M, 1930s
About the Item
In true Hollywood Regency style, this gown technically covers the body but would leave little to the imagination if it weren't for the slip worn underneath. Despite having yards of fabric, its fluttering capelet and navel-grazing neck plunge convey airy lightness and provide pajama-like comfort.
Full-length lace gown with matching slip*. Sleeveless gown features plunging V neckline and mesh-covered plunging back with attached 360-degree elbow-length capelet around shoulders; bias cut skirt. Inset left side opening with snap and hook and eye closures, plus two hooks and eyes at V neck; belt loops and matching self tie belt. Lingerie snaps at shoulders; unlined. Knee-length slip features adjustable satin shoulder straps and inset lace at front V neckline, back line and hem; slip-on construction with no closures of any kind.
