Golden Gown
You will definitely be
the golden girl in this lustrous changeable silk evening gown from
the 1950's made by the Fashion Workroom, New York.
The bodice is
constructed for maximum figure flattering allure. The intricate
construction has a scoop neckline with a V shaped opening and a
criss-cross panel above a wide fitted cummerbund style waistline.
The full skirt is flat at the center front with wide inverted pleats
starting over the hips and continuing around the back to the metal
center back zipper. The petticoat has horsehair panels over the
hips for shaping as well as several ruffles at the back for
fullness.
This glistening
golden silk dress is fully lined with a grosgrain ribbon
petersham at the waist. Much of the dress is hand finished
attesting to the quality workmanship.
There is a small
repair at the front hem of the underslip, probably the result of
a misstep. This cannot be seen when the dress is worn.
