1940s Bustled Magenta Star Maxi M

Absolutely DREAMY vintage 1940s gown with a bevy of rare romantic features. The rich magenta fabric has a subtle jacquard weave with stars in the mix (hard to photograph but stunning up close), which play off of the thickly textured embroidered lace trim adorning the sweetheart neckline and low back. The bodice has thin spaghetti straps, slight boning and a wonderful peaked waistline. All atop the sweeping maxi-length skirt complete with double ruffled bustle. Crying over this beauty! She's a bit as-is so take her home for a song and love her <3 No labels, circa 1940s.
