Now this, THIS, is an evening dress
perfect for an evening out. This French garment is of the finest quality, complete with highly refined decorations. The combination of gold lamé and variously shaped iridescent sequins create an interesting surface texture, enhanced by the three-dimensional flowerheads applied to the petal panels of the overskirt. A harmonious design, the cascading flowers tone perfectly with the pink hem of the underslip and the V-neck matches the configuration of beadwork on the bust. Overall, this is an exquisite garment, extremely luxurious for this decade of frivolity. -- The Metropolitan Museum of Art - Dress, Evening
