Vintage 1940s Cream Crepe Silk Dress 1940 Beaded Mandarin Collar Dress UK 8 US 4
About the Item
This elegant 1940's cream crepe silk dress, accented by cream and black embroidered soutache which is in turn embellished with white rocailles beaded tassels, is the perfect piece for your vintage collection.
The Mandarin style collar, draws in along the front of the neckline with a small hook and loop, and is embellished with trailing soutache embroidery and beaded tassels. The decorative collar panel continues along the front of the décolletage where the hook and loop fastening creates a key hole design. The simple shoulder line, sets off the wide inset short cut sleeves. The bodice, is accented by tailored darts along the bust-line, which draw the eye to the fitted and cinched in waistline. The silhouette of the skirt-line is set off by a cross over cut, accented by 4 sewn pleats along the left hand side of the hipline, from which pleats drape along the length, setting off the elegant pleated side sash, which fastens along the back of the left hand side hipline. This flattering design, draws the eye to the female form, whilst accenting the hipline. Finished with a simple silhouette, this mesmerising 1940's dress showcases the iconic design of the era.
