About the Item
A stunning and hard-to-find piece from the late 1940's created by Irene Lentz.
This black gown really channels classic 'film noir' Hollywood glamour from this era. The dress features a fitted corset-style bodice with peaked sides, overlaid with soft, billowy silk chiffon that forms sheer bishop sleeves with gathered wrists and a gently gathered neckline. The sheer layer adds movement and drama without overpowering the sleek silhouette. The slim skirt falls straight with a front slit. A perfect blend of structure and softness, this gown is a true example of Old Hollywood style.
Dress best fits a size 2. Its Approximate measurements are 32" at bust, 24.5" at waist, 36" at hips and 52" in length.
Beautifully constructed internal corset with hand finishing throughout. Center back zip closure.
Made in the U.S.
Marshall Field & Company label also accompanies the 'Irene' label. Marshall Field & Company was a historic American department store founded in Chicago in the 1850's. Known for luxury goods, exceptional customer service, and elegant merchandising, it became one of the most iconic and influential retailers in the U.S.
Very good condition.
