Vintage 1930's Evening Gown - Sheer Black Rayon Chiffon with Chantilly Lace with Open Back | M

This light as air vintage 1930s evening gown was made from a sheer black rayon chiffon material. Bias cut with stunning Chantilly lace panels inserted around the bodice and skirt. This stunning gown is dripping with detail, with gathered chiffon framing the very low cut neck and a deep keyhole back that closes just above the derriere with little fabric covered buttons. Sleek and very sexy with a long A line skirt that skims the ankles. Gathered detail at the center back creates a subtle 'bustle' which shapes the gown nicely from all angles. This piece reminds me so much of the Belle Epoque styles from the late Victorian-early Edwardian era.
