If party dresses in the 1920s were youthful and exuberant, evening dresses in the 1930s were slinky and sophisticated. Here is a glamorous duo from 1933, depicted at "An evening at the casino".

[Organdy DRESS with small ruffled collar. The simple, low-cut dress with bare arms is trimmed with a draped ribbon belt tied at the side. Skirt with two very loose, superimposed ruffles. The cape is mobile and can be removed at will.]
