1940s Plum Evening Gown

This piece is one of my 1940s crepe gowns with incredible beading. Close with a left side metal zipper, lovely elbow pleats, the bodice flaps and belt with all the beading and buttons are what attracted me to this gown. Measures 38/31/40, the belt is rather long and is worn on the inner. There is variation down the skirt, again it falls away in the folds of the fabric. One small popped seam.
