This stunning 1940’s black floral gown is a true showstopper, balancing romance and drama with impeccable detail. Crafted in a fluid black rayon with scattered oversized florals in rich reds, buttery yellows, soft lilacs, and leafy greens. The dress comes alive at the front with iridescent sequins, hand-applied, meticulously outlining every single bloom. The sequin work is concentrated on the bust and peplum, adding shimmer and dimension exactly where it flatters and matters the most. The peplum creates a beautiful hourglass silhouette, with cascading folds of florals framing the hips in a beautiful drape that gives the dress its signature shape. The maxi skirt’s slit is both pragmatic in purpose and intentional in design, with its placement in the front mimicking the dress’ curtained drapes and folds . The gathered shoulders and flouncy short sleeves add volume at the top, also echoing the drapes & folds in the peplum skirt below. This statuesque V-line profile is a powerful & stunning evocation of the loosening of fashion norms surrounding, empowering & liberating the burgeoning femininity of the art deco era, just before the somber effects of the second world war. This gown is fiercely romantic, classically timeless and effortlessly glamorous.
Belt not included.
Measurements: Bust 38”, Waist 26”, Hips 39”, Shoulder 14.5”, Sleeve 5.5”, Waist to Hem 43”, Shoulder to Hem 60”
