About the Item
The perfect blend of bohemian and traditional, this liquid shirt dress combines a bright hand-crocheted placket, cuffs and collar with a modest silhouette, somber color and upright Eisenhower bodice. Stunning details like hand-knotted buttons and radiating rear neck darts balance a swirling skirt that continues moving long after you've stopped. Exactly the kind of dress that made enlisted men swoon (and ask for a dance).
Long sleeve mock turtleneck shift dress with hand-crocheted trim around neckline, down front placket and around cuffs; front and rear Eisenhower bodice pleats. Left side metal zipper closure with buttoning front half-placket and 2-button cuffs; belt loops and matching self tie belt. Unlined.

Brown Regency Silk Crêpe Kimono Gown with Crystal Batwing Sleeves - Med, 1930s
Located in Tucson, AZ

The high cut asymmetrical bodice and inset obi waist detail keep it demure, but the fluttering batwing sleeves—dripping with tambour beading and Austrian crystals—are the real show-stoppers.
