The skirt also falls on the bias from a curved seam at the waist and there is a high slit that exposes the thigh - set so high that it is almost scandalous

A really lovely dress

Everything you look for in a Wainwright piece

Has its original belt that is also in excellent condition

After the recent excitement about the Madame Gres pieces exhibited this summer and the strong 40s trend happening to have a gown come in that is so exquisitely perfect and representative of that wonderful draping done in the plate 30 and early 40s was just too perfect timing

1940s Rare Liquid Silk Satin Copper Suit designer-scott-barrie The skirt also falls onA really special forties suit that is super rare and hard to find! The color is amazing it's a rich, luxe copper with an almost deep undertone of pink to it. Made of thick silk satin it is just amazing! You normally see this fabric in gowns that take advantage of the weight of the fabric to create deep draping effects but here some clever designer has used it in high contrast and made it structured! The skirt is of a length typical of the time period
