Another 1940's Gown, this time in Holiday Red
What beautiful fabric! It is substantial but soft and with tiny machine-embroidered diamond shapes all over, which was apparently a “thing” in some Forties material. This might have been a way of making up for the absence of natural fabrics like silk and many of the notions used to decorate clothing before and after WWII. The style is very simple and I think, like the dress shown yesterday, that…

BACK TO LONG DRESSES FOR WINTER HOLIDAY PARTIES. LET'S START WITH A 1930'S RETRO FROCK.
Cold shoulder tailoring and drapey, body con fit was a VERY Deco style. This is a custom-made gown from the mid-century.

BEAUTIFUL TAILORED DRESS – VINTAGE ELEGANCE
Though this frock is so classic that it could be from many different decades, I’m placing it in the late 1960’s for several reasons. The finishing is very professional but I believe that it was custom-made, which has been rare for a long time. The fabric is a loose weave which was popular in the late Sixties.
