About
Smouldering with sensuality, this cap sleeve gown has "1940s Torch Singer" written all over it. Shaped like an exclamation point, its wide shoulders are offset by a slim waist with alluring waterfall draping in front and a pointed hemline in back. An exclamation indeed!
Violet hobble gown with padded shoulders, dolman cap sleeve and V-neck blouson bodice; inset diamond shape cummerbund cradles bustline above waist and creates waterfall draping effect below waist. 20” front center skirt slit balanced by rear pointed hemline. Rear nylon zipper closure with top hook and eye. Fully beaded with royal purple bugle beads and piped with 5 rows of bugle beads at armholes, neckline and hem line. Fully lined in royal purple silk.
