1940s Asymmetrical Button Swing Dress
This dress is amazing! Constructed of a deep blue crepe rayon with all the edges backed in a pale lavender crepe so you get just a hint of that secondary color and it also really emphasizes the design. The skirt is cut on an A-line with a little side kick pleat with a panel of that lavender inside so that when you move you get a flash of color. The neckline is cut with just a hint of side "collars" and the sleeves are to the elbow and each ends in a fabulous cuff detail with a huge button. The start detail n this dress is of course that row of huge buttons - all decorative but with the illusion that it buttons into place. Each massive button is set n a cut loop of fabric behind it. It is just wonderful and unusual - a really great and unusual swing dress! Excellent condition!
