Just beautiful and historic in design. I cannot help but this this gown was possibly inspired by Elizabeth Taylor in the 1963 movie Clepoatra but this style was also prevelent in the 20s and 30s. As well as in ancient Rome royalty . Sturdy and wearable with no defects outside of the greying from the metallic trim.
Vintage necklace inncluded in sale !
Outside of the grey shading around the metallic trim adn the small holes in the front lining this gown is in great shape and is sturdy and wearable.
Priced to sell.
