For some reason the silk satin produced in this time period seems to have an extra bit of richness and luxuriousness to it. I don't know why but any vintage lover  of merit knows exactly what I mean. The sweetheart bodice is very sexy and flattering. The stars on the shoulders are cut wide and then the from dips down in a scoop. It is gathered to give the illusion of a little more fullness and to add detail. Under this the waist curves in through vertical seaming. The skirt is cut very full and I have styled it with a light crinoline underneath so you can get an idea of just how much fabric is in there. Without the crinoline you still get a sense of fullness, especially when you move and it can easily be worn with or without. I love the little abstract dotted pattern that comes through the black silk - and when you sit or move a certain way you get a flash of the colors underneath that create this effect. If you love it in the pictures you will be blown away when it arrives! Excellent condition.
