vintage 1930s rich velvet bias cut evening dress with split sleeves and rhinestones machine age necklace as very good quality cottonQuite a showstopper, this rich purple burgundy velvet 1930s evening dress, with ruched details to neckline and cuffs, split peekaboo sleeves, and deep 10" long opening to centre back with fastens with double buttons to top, and a hook and eye.
