This is such a beautiful dress, in a slinky, sheer fabric that hugs the body.  With puffed sleeves and a LONG front streamer that crosses under the bosom to tie in front or back.

It’s cut on the bias, with panels inserted in the lower part of the skirt to make it swirl at mid-calf length.  There is also a dark blue slip-dress to wear underneath.

There is no label, and after careful examination I would say that this frock was made in the 1980’s or 1990’s, maybe by a small designer.  The construction is very professional.  At first, I had wondered if it was truly from the 1930’s, but I doubt it.

Such a beautiful mystery!  It bears further investigation.  The real joy is that it fits me so well . . . . .
