The rarest of them all, this precious museum-quality specimen by Valerie Goad is truly one of my most precious finds to date. Crafted in sumptuous burgundy velvet, the gown showcases exquisite cotton patchwork floral appliqués that exemplify the era's artisanal approach. The dramatic plunge neckline and voluminous puff sleeves frame the silhouette with theatrical elegance, whilst the expansive sweeping skirt creates an unforgettable presence. A true investment piece and something to cherish forever and ever.

She has been freshly laundered and is ready to wear. Dry clean. She is in good vintage condition, she has a few minor signs of wear. She has some slight discolouration to one cuff, a dry cleaner may be able to remove this if it bothers, it is very minor and does not detract from this incredible dream.
This beauty has minimal signs of vintage wear, but please bear in mind that our pieces are true vintage, they’ve been danced in and they have been lived in, so all of our garments will carry your usual signs of vintage wear. Anything that we think is outside of what would class as usual vintage wear, we will state.
