A truly breathtaking and ultra glamorous mid 1930's emerald green devore silk velvet bias cut gown from the high-end London department store Debenham & Freebody. This special department store became the first of over 60 nationwide. Finding early examples from this rare label is incredibly hard to do let alone a gorgeous 'Old Hollywood' style showstopper. The fabric itself is a masterpiece; the softest semi-sheer leaf motif devore silk velvet is the prettiest emerald green color. The sleeveless bodice has a stunning low-cut weighted plunge to keep the neckline perfectly in place. The matching cropped flutter-sleeve bolero clips in place and looks sensational with movement. The flattering nipped waist falls into a dramatic full-length hourglass bias-cut. The piece work to create this garment with the softest silk-velvet is extraordinary. It is amazing that a gown with this amount of detail and presence can feel so comfortable but it does! It is impeccably seamed and on the level of modern day couture.
