EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 1929 photograph captures the essence of Parisian fashion during the Roaring Twenties, as embodied in this elegant dress designed by Gordon Conway. The dress, made of black silk tulle, features a unique train that springs from the upper pleated flounce, adding an air of drama and sophistication. The corsage, which is cut square at the front and high at the back, is trimmed with intricate moire ribbon, adding a textured and visually appealing contrast to the smooth black fabric. The waistband also boasts the same elegant trim, accentuating the hourglass figure of the wearer. The dress, with its timeless design and classic color, remains a testament to the enduring allure of 1920s fashion. This image, published by the Illustrated London News Ltd and available through Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when fashion was an art form and women embraced their femininity with confidence and style.
