Full length silk crepe smocked dress from the 1940's Very Loretta Caponi!

The blush slip features a deep V-neck surplice bodice with delicate floral embroidery and scalloped embroidered trim.

Key features include:

• Blush pink.
• Deep V-neckline with an overlapping surplice-style front.
• Wide shoulder straps that create a flattering neckline.
• Delicate floral embroidered appliqué on both sides of the bodice featuring trailing flowers and vines.
• Decorative scalloped embroidered edging along the neckline.
• Gathered Empire-inspired curved underbust seam with elastic shirring at each side, creating gentle shaping while remaining comfortable.
• Long, straight skirt with a flowing, bias-like drape.
• Scalloped hem, echoing the neckline detailing.
• The embroidered floral motifs are typical of wartime and post-war lingerie.
• The elongated, streamlined silhouette is characteristic of the 1940s.
• The curved underbust seam with side gathering was common in slips and nightgowns produced during the late 1930s and 1940s.
• The minimal, elegant construction predates the heavily lace-trimmed nylon slips that became popular during the late 1950s and 1960s.
