Description
Delicate, dramatic, and surprisingly modern, this vintage black evening gown is fashioned from sheer net with beautifully beaded open shoulder sleeves, creating an elegant silhouette from every angle. Fine vertical detailing through the bodice adds structure while the flowing skirt gives the gown beautiful movement.
Finished with a side snap closure, this piece was designed to be worn over a coordinating slip, allowing the sheer fabric and intricate details to take center stage.
Whether you’re drawn to vintage evening wear or collecting exceptional textiles, this gown is every bit as striking displayed as it is worn.
Very good vintage condition with gentle wear consistent with age.
Curator’s Note
This is one of those pieces that stops you in your tracks.
The open shoulder sleeves trimmed in shimmering beadwork feel unexpectedly contemporary, while the sheer construction gives the gown an ethereal quality that photographs beautifully. I love it layered over a simple black slip for a timeless evening look, but it would be equally stunning worn over a fitted black bodysuit and trousers for a modern interpretation. It also makes an unforgettable display piece on a mannequin where every detail can be appreciated.
