1940s Sequined Bows & Silk Crepe Top designer-bob-mackie "To me China had purity

"To me China had purity and strength

Berin was a favorite of Pat Nixon and Ladybird Johnson and you can see why in this classic gown

Note that there is a slight change of texture and small area of color near the front buttons

The bodice is lightly boned and the front bust seams have molded

I think the front was opened a bit but I love it that plunged so left it - it would be easy to tack together if you wanted a more modest look

1940s Sequined Bows & Silk Crepe Top designer-bob-mackie "To me China had purityAn amazing and hard to find early 1940s silk moss crepe topper that has the most amazing bow design going across the front done in three rows of gold sequins! Cut to skim past the waist this one zips at the side and has an attached half belt at the back that allows you to cinch in the waist but without covering the front design. Hand sequined and each sequined design finishes with those darling bow! It is stunning and in great condition! Item# S338
