1930s Puffed Sleeve Floral Silk Chiffon Gown designer-christian-lacroix I love the piping detail

I love the piping detail that runs down the inside of the front opening and ends in a little curl - its that little extra touch that just make you swoon

Attached tie at the neck and the most fabulous floral buttons ever

It is an extraordinary example of couture level textiles and the original price if this set was 5 times the listed price

one inner one that closes the bodice and then another that sits from the waist down

Look closely and you will see that the lace is actually all rows stacked on top of each other

1930s Puffed Sleeve Floral Silk Chiffon Gown designer-christian-lacroix I love the piping detailThis thirties bias cut silk chiffon gown is absolutely beautiful. It is completely cut on the bias over the inner lining so drapes and moves to fit you perfectly from the second you slip it on. The silk is feather light you could probably pull this dress through a decent size ring if it was not lined. Lots of those fab period details like the teeny gathers at the shoulders and puffed, high cap sleeves they even have tulle inside them for extra volume.
