.. Gilbert Adrian Original: 1940s Evening Dress

.. There really is nothing like the look of a Gilbert Adrian gown. I have had a few come and go, but I have never owned one in a size larger than a 6. usually they are tiny. I am so happy to be able to offer this wonderful item.

.. The fabric is silk, of course. Its a midweight crepe that hangs perfectly on the body. It is a very glamorous cut, with super long sleeves that are quite wide at the top, then they taper to a very tight wrist... tiny hidden zippers enable it to be so tight. The neck has a modest V and a few deep pleats down the bust that draw attention to the glorious waist detail. A large, swooping X crosses the navel, the bottoms continue down, then sweep out across the hips and meet up at the small of the back. Under the X is a downward pointing V that has gentle pleats. The bottom of the V opens the skirt to the hem. The opening is secured by a few reinforced threads so it teases a possibility of exposure.

.. It is a magnificent, sexy, and glamorous gown.
