This mesmerising 1930's midnight blue silk brocade dress with a silver lamé thread accent, is a rare piece to behold
The straight cut neckline of the dress is set off by a wonderful single shoulder strap which is elegantly pleated and gathered, draping over the shoulder into a slight sleeve. The wonderful pleats that radiate from the shoulder strap drape into the fitted boned bodice. The cinched in waistline is accented by matching silk pipping. The wonderful drape of the skirt falls from gathered pleats beneath the piped waistband, completing this dress in an iconic 1930's silhouette
