1940s Bead & Pearl Trimmed Swing Dress
Absolutely gorgeous 1940s dress with superb detailing! Made of an unusual salmon pink hued silk crepe with crisp lines that are very flattering. The skirt is classic swing with a long lean cut and slight flare as it nears the hem. The waist nips in and a jaunty pearl and sequin encrusted pocket sits on one hip. I love the scooped neckline with its rounded silk satin collar. That same silk satin adorns each cuff and the pocket for a chic finish. The pearls and sequin detailing that sits under the collar is fantastic! Lovely lines, well made and a stunning details - all add up to a really wonderful example of how fabulous dresses were from this era! It is a beautiful, classic dress, that is wonderfully made and in excellent condition.
Shoulders: no defined seams
Bust: 18" flat across from side seam to side seam
Waist: 12.5" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: 19.5" flat across from side seam to side seam of the lining
Bodice: 16" from shoulder to waist
Skirt: 28" from waist to hem
Unlined and closes with a side painted metal zipper. There is a sequin missing on the very top of the design on the shoulder but it is not readily apparent nor does it detract. The color is more of a pink then shown - the light parts pf the close-up of the label is closest to the true color. Also the pearls are not yellowed - it is a trick of the lighting.
