A breathtakingly delicate example of late 1930s to very early 1940s stagecraft, sourced from a retiring Broadway costumer. This gown is crafted from a fine floral corded lace in a classic "dusty peach" tone, featuring the iconic elongated silhouette and bias-cut influence of the era.
The design is defined by a deep V-neckline with pleated shoulder details, three-quarter length sleeves with ruched cuffs, and a stunning row of lace-covered buttons running down the center back. Technical hallmarks of professional theater include the Jerome H. Cargill property label and visible evidence of studio alterations; basting stitches and reworked seams indicate this piece was custom-fitted for multiple performers.
Size: Modern Small/Medium (S/M)
Condition Discoloration, minor thread breaks, small holes, and the aforementioned structural re-working. Possibly 60s or 70s repro but def true vintage!
