This is a simply stunning late 1940s evening dress in a lilac-y blue Rayon, with a taffeta lining and a confetti net overlay.

There is a dip dye-ombre effect on the under layer which gives a real depth to the dress. She has short sleeves with housewife turn up point cuff detail, a V neckline, self-covered metal shank buttons with fabric loop fastenings to the front, and a single original metal hook & eye fastening to the inside of the waistband. The back collar detail has a pleated mandarin effect and is exquisitely couture.
