About MeThis full length evening dress displays all the characteristics of 1930s evening wear. In orange brocade cloque with silver lurex thread, it is sleeveless with a crossover v-neckline at the front and gathered under the bust to give fullness. The figure-hugging line of the dress is achieved by a diamond-shaped panel at the waist, and wide flared skirt cut on the cross.
