Original Late 1930s 30s Early 1940s 40s Vintage Silk Velvet Evening Gown With Gold Soutache AppliquéThis stunning evening gown was made from a luxuriously soft black silk velvet in the late 1930s early 1940s. It is cut in an elegant, slim silhouette with wonderful draping at the bust and pleating to the shoulders which creates a slight puff to the sleeves. The V shaped waist seam visually elongates the wearers body and, combined with the slim hips, gives the dress a wonderful sense of sophistication. A large gold soutache appliqu in a floral spray
