Description: A striking 1930s evening gown rendered in rich ruby-red velvet with a luminous, liquid-like sheen. The dress features a softly gathered empire waist, dramatic draped cap sleeves that extend into a cape-like effect across the shoulders, and an elongated skirt that falls in graceful, fluid lines. The neckline is accented with an appliquéd floral motif embellished with metallic details, adding a subtle decorative flourish. Evidence of later alterations, likely dating to the late 1940s, can be seen in the updated silhouette and construction, reflecting the garment’s evolution while preserving its original Old Hollywood glamour.

Condition: Random variations in the velvet. I'm not sure if that's how the velvet was originally presented.
