1940s black crepe sequinned dress with its own lariat and bustle
This stunning dress seems to have all sequins intact, and on the front they are in the shape of sweet little butterflies. It has it's own attached lariat made with the same sequins.
The sleeves are bracelet length and gathered round the cuff. The front peplum is gathered to match the sleeves and forms into a pleated bustle at the back. The bustle does have poppers in case you need to un-pop to get in/out, but to be honest I can slide in/out without unpopping.
There is a side metal zipper. The shoulder pads look to be more modern replacements, but well done.
In excellent condition.
