1930s Puffed Sleeve Floral Silk Chiffon Gown designer-christian-lacroix Item# 2-DD395

Item# 2-DD395

late 1970s

I love the piping detail that runs down the inside of the front opening and ends in a little curl - its that little extra touch that just make you swoon

Attached tie at the neck and the most fabulous floral buttons ever

Little bows also sit on each sleeve and the sleeves themselves are incredible - each is a huge puffed and exaggerated sleeve that ends at the elbow and is cut to sit wide and full

1930s Puffed Sleeve Floral Silk Chiffon Gown designer-christian-lacroix Item# 2-DD395This thirties bias cut silk chiffon gown is absolutely beautiful. It is completely cut on the bias over the inner lining so drapes and moves to fit you perfectly from the second you slip it on. The silk is feather light you could probably pull this dress through a decent size ring if it was not lined. Lots of those fab period details like the teeny gathers at the shoulders and puffed, high cap sleeves they even have tulle inside them for extra volume.
