Description
-
This gold lamé evening dress from the 1930s reflects the glamour and elegance associated with Hollywood “silver screen” fashion during the interwar period. Designed by New York dressmakers Jessie Farquharson and Margaret Wheelock, the gown features a floor-length flowing silhouette, a low neckline, draped detailing, and a softly gathered skirt that emphasizes movement and fluidity. The metallic fabric creates a shimmering effect characteristic of 1930s eveningwear, offering a luxurious contrast to the more restrained and tailored styles worn during the day. Paired with a dramatic fur stole, the ensemble embodies the sophisticated femininity and cinematic influence that shaped high fashion during the decade.
