A B O U T

This exquisite late 1940s Chinese evening dress exemplifies the glamour and artistry of postwar fashion, when East–West design influences created strikingly sophisticated silhouettes. The dress is crafted from rich black brocade woven with a metallic gold pattern of stylized blossoms, and bamboo, symbols of longevity and prosperity in Chinese decorative arts. The fitted bodice features a sweetheart neckline with black floral lace, which continues over the shoulders and across the upper back, adding an air of delicacy and allure. The full, mid-length skirt flares gracefully from the waist, designed to move with elegant fluidity. Zips up the side with original metal zipper. Comes complete with matching shawl. 

In excellent condition, freshly dry cleaned and ready to wear.
