Beautiful statuesque ball gown made in rayon crepe, floor length in the old Hollywood glam gown style.  High crew neckline with short puffy sleeve.  Back of dress has a peek a boo opening with button closure that may not be the original button and my guess it was changed and can be again if you so wish.  

Bodice focuses on detail with sewn on sequins and gold beaded balls throughout the shoulder, back and front.   Just stunning and wearable artwork.

About the Label
The New York Creation label was not a single fashion brand, but a historic collective tracking mark issued by the New York Dress Institute. Formed in 1941 as a joint venture between New York City garment manufacturers and the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU), its goal was to promote New York as the fashion capital of the world. This was a direct response to WWII and the German occupation of Paris, which cut off French fashion imports. Any manufacturer that met the high manufacturing standards of the Institute inside New York City was required to sew this label into their garments.
