About MeLilac moss crepe full-length evening dress with a flared skirt and fitted bodice featuring short puffed sleeves and padded shoulders. A small amount of glamour has been added to the plain fabric with rows of sequin and bead decoration. Many war-time fabric dyes were prone to fade over time, which is illustrated by this dress that has faded to a dull grey in places.
1940s
