{"product_id":"mid-century-ocean-blue-lurex-evening-gown","title":"Mid Century Ocean Blue Lurex Evening Gown","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"65\" data-end=\"655\"\u003eA liquid shimmer of deep ocean blue, this authentic vintage gown captures the glamour of mid century evening dressing with remarkable restraint and elegance. Cut in a statuesque column silhouette, the softly glistening lurex catches the light like the sun across water, creating movement even in stillness. The square neckline frames the collarbone beautifully, while the elongated line of the gown falls cleanly to the floor before opening into a dramatic side split. The simplicity of the construction allows the fabric to become the centrepiece, luminous, fluid, and quietly cinematic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"657\" data-end=\"1212\"\u003eThe structured shoulder line and elongated cut create beautiful balance through the torso, offering a sleek silhouette that skims rather than clings. Ideal for evening events, gallery dinners, winter balls, or modern bridal celebrations, this piece pairs effortlessly with sculptural jewellery and metallic or understated heels. The side split allows graceful movement while the back zip closure keeps the silhouette clean and uninterrupted. Particularly flattering for those seeking elegant vertical lines through the middle and hip area without excessive shaping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1214\" data-end=\"1272\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKeen to try on?
