Some weeks are sent to try us aren’t they?! I have had one of those weeks and for anybody else who might be feeling similarly foiled at every turn, take a moment to enjoy this favourite mid #1930s gown by Rose Amado. A soothing feast for the eyes #goldsteinmuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

It is a subtle decorative choice, wrapping the body in mint green chiffon with a swirl of piping around the waist attached with bridging stitches. Early #1940s style, soft layers and sleeves that seem to fold into themselves #goldsteinmuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

When you have a party to go to but would actually rather be at home with a gin fizz and a good book, this #1930s primrose rayon satin is at once both chic and relaxed once you add the loose draped jacket. Bias cut, cowl necked and oozing glamour #goldsteinmuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Marquisette is a sheer, open weave fabric perfect for this negligee style of #1930s evening dress where layers are chosen to either obscure or reveal. It has the additional feature of light grey machine stitched medallions, lace like against the navy blue rayon #goldsteinmuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
