Unusual 1930s Avant Garde Mauve Moss Crepe Dress w Hand Beaded Sleeve Detailings designer-christian-lacroix A version of this sameI am so excited to bring you the second part of our 1930s capsule. This is one of a dozen dresses from a single owner collection of beautiful 1930s dresses. Her collection was lovingly sourced over decades and she has decided that it is time let them back out into the world for others to enjoy. Outstanding designs from this era are increasingly hard to find. Her collection represents some of the best of the era that I have seen in a very long time.
