1940s Lace Illusion Peplum Crepe Dress
This dress has an unexpected sexy side to it. The front is amazingly pretty - the entire top of the bodice has a stunning cotton cut out lace applique that has been done in huge stylized circles. This is backed with nude netting to gives the appearance of being far barer then the wearer actually is. The waist nips in and the skirt is cut in a slim pencil silhouette. Over the hips lies a peplum in the same black silk crepe. The back is where the true sexiness lies. It buttons at the small of the back in a row of tightly spaced buttons and above that the nude netting opens to an almost inverted long diamond shape that is caught up at the base of the neck by a hook and eye. These leaves the back exposed and with the nude netting on either side to the lace looks like it is lying bare on your skin! Excellent condition and well made!
