Evening dress
Not on view
This evening dress shows the transition of the hemline, which reached the floor after 1929. The silhouette of the bodice of this dress follows that of the 1920s as it is tubular and low-waisted. The sheer white chiffon is a very delicate fabric, and its sheerness adds a seductive element. Perhaps what makes this dress so interesting is its adornment. The placement of the rhinestones adds dimension to the vermiculate pattern while the negative space patterning has a Middle Eastern feel. Additionally, the trompe l'oeil belt is not only unique, but eye-catching, drawing attention to the waist.
