Absolutely gorgeous 1940s dress with superb detailing! Made of an unusual salmon pink hued silk crepe with crisp lines that are very flattering. The skirt is classic swing with a long lean cut and slight flare as it nears the hem. The waist nips in and a jaunty pearl and sequin encrusted pocket sits on one hip. I love the scooped neckline with its rounded silk satin collar. That same silk satin adorns each cuff and the pocket for a chic finish. The pearls and sequin detailing that sits under the collar is fantastic! Lovely lines, well made and a stunning details - all add up to a really wonderful example of how fabulous dresses were from this era! It is a beautiful, classic dress, that is wonderfully made and in excellent condition.

Unlined and closes with a side painted metal zipper. There is a sequin missing on the very top of the design on the shoulder but it is not readily apparent nor does it detract. The color is more of a pink then shown - the light parts pf the close-up of the label is closest to the true color. Also the pearls are not yellowed - it is a trick of the lighting.
