Hollywood glamour comes to mind when you when you first see this sexy, figure flattering bias cut lame evening gown from the 1930's.  The alluring Art Deco lines and intricate construction make the most of the glistening golden floral patterned lame.

The bodice is brilliantly constructed with vertical darts just below the narrow straps and an interior lame band at the center anchoring a series of horizontal darts at the bust.  The dress opens under the left arm with a series of snaps.  The construction through the mid section of the dress is unusual and intriguing.  There are diamond shaped panels, a circular design at the center, and on the sides there are panels that look like and appear to function like a hand, giving the dress that amazing bias cut , figure flattering, sexy fit. The skirt has a double box pleat at the center, and loose bias cut panels above an undulating hemline with a train at the back.

The fabric is a delight for the eye.  A deep, rich brown is shot through with metallic gold lame and patterned with colorful nasturtiums.  The blooms are done in shades of orange, red, pink, blue and green, a glorious combination of colors for a dress that is both timeless and without a season.  This beautiful 1930's dress is in excellent condition.
