Vintage 1930's Floral Garden Silk Bouquet Appliqué Couture Old Hollywood Gown

About the Item

The breathtaking rich red and maroon watercolor deco floral print used on this late 1930's silk gown has a striking allure that I find irresistible. The elegant bodice has a low plunge front trimmed with stunning maroon silk taffeta. This same silk taffeta creates a fantastic oversized sash waist with flows into a glamourous trained backside. I adore the dramatic three-dimensional bouquet appliqué bouquet which really brings this dress to a new level. The piece work to create the zig-zag patterned skirting in particular is extraordinary as well! There is wonderful gathered depth with the yards and yards of fabric used without the skirt feeling too full. It is amazing that a gown from this era can read so fresh and modern. We added many pictures so you could understand this masterful achievement. Extremely romantic and rare! Measurements Bust: 36-37 inches Waist: 29 inches Hips: up to 42 inches Total Length: 62 inches This 1930's custom couture gown is in beautiful wearable condition with no noticeable rips, holes or fade. Perfectly working original side metal hook closures. There are a few small marks within the print that get lost in the folds. Please message for detailed pictures. This gorgeous garment is over 90 years old and is truly stunning!
