1930s Puffed Sleeve Floral Silk Chiffon Gown designer-christian-lacroix Look closely and you will

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

Even that fantastic fringe have a color variation built into them

Length: 33" from top of shoulder to short parts of hem

The sleeves I love - they each widen as the near the elbow and are quite wide there

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

1930s Puffed Sleeve Floral Silk Chiffon Gown designer-christian-lacroix Look closely and you willThis 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.
