1940s Victoria's Victorious Vines Dress | Vintage 40s Purple Asymmetrical Pleated Teal Beadwork Cocktail Frock with Attached Belt | Medium

Serve looks and show them you mean business in this smart plum purple early 1940's dress. Made of rayon crepe, this frock features asymmetrical pleated details on the bodice that trail up to a half-moon shaped appliqué with teal and silver botanical vine beadwork. Demurely padded shoulders give more structure and the sleeves are three quarter length. An identical beaded appliqué on the waist is attached to a flattering gathered attached belt that buckles in the back. A ten gored skirt falls elegantly from the waist. This dress has a side metal zipper and a self-covered button closure on the nape of the neck. This dress can be worn for formal occasions yet is not too fussy for day-time wear. This dress is in good vintage condition with a little subtle fading (super common in 1940s purple), with no holes, stains, or odors to note.
