Vintage 1940s Stunning Silk, Red Wine, Classy Cocktail Dress, fully lined, cheapest Christmas Party Dress, British Crown Colony of Hong Kong
Beautifully structured dress, hand tailored in the late 1940s- early 50s for Jordan Marsh. The fabric is a heavy charmeuse style silk. The lovely scoop neck has a rolled fabric trim. Cap style sleeves, hand stitched hem, zip up back metal zipper and rolled fabric waist. Pink cotton lining throughout. Who doesn't love a couple hidden seam pockets! Sweet bow ties on the back waistline. Sheer fabric sewn inside waistline on hips!
Classy, elegant and lustrous best describes this unique gorgeous, satin, red wine cocktail dress. Perfect for your special night out or celebration. Truly a one of a kind!
There are a few pulls in the fabric which is typical of age. Otherwise, this beauty is in excellent condition. It is hard to capture the color so I took several photos in natural light indoors and out. It's a deep cranberry/ wine color with a sheen.
