Description: This exquisite 1930s evening gown exemplifies the glamorous silhouettes that defined the era. Crafted from luxurious burgundy silk velvet, the dress features a bias-cut floor-length skirt that gracefully clings through the hips before flaring toward the hem—a hallmark of Depression-era Hollywood elegance. The fitted bodice showcases a high neckline and is cinched at the natural waist with a buckled belt for definition. Dramatic puffed "leg o' mutton" sleeves taper to fitted wrists adorned with covered buttons, creating the coveted broad-shouldered silhouette that visually slimmed the waist. A true collector's piece that captures the refined sophistication of 1930s evening wear.

Condition: Minor bruising to the velvet. Small hole at left hip. This dress is old and may not withstand being worn
