From 1942 to 1949, Irene Gibbons was the head Costume Designer at MGM. Discovered by the luscious Dolores del Rio, she had taken Gilbert Adrian's place and did quite a spectactular job at filling shoes that everyone thought impossible to fill. This simple black wool crepe dress really puts you in the day and what it was like to get dressed. Your outfit was really a canvas and the jewelry was the art. After World War 2, American costume jewelry designers kinda went crazy and came out with all these over-the-top fantasy jewels. Massive cuffs in aurora borealis pastes and colossal bib necklaces with tiers of pearl and rhinestones. So now's your chance to get a little Norma Desmond and think of creative ways to wear some killer vintage jewelry. Buttoning down the front with a row of covered crepe buttons, this has ballet-length sleeves and an above-the-knee hem. Unlined, we suggest a vivid Pucci slip underneath and high Prada platform sandals in fuchsia satin. Bust measures 34", shoulder to shoulder 15", outer sleeve 17" and length 35". Excellent condiition. $395.00 |
