EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the elegance and glamour of Elizabeth Allan as she dons a stunning silver lame gown designed by the renowned costume designer Dolly Tree for the 1935 film adaptation of "A Tale of Two Cities" produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The gown, a testament to the fashion sensibilities of the 1930s, features a halter neckline that accentuates Allan's graceful neck and shoulders. The only touch of jeweled adornment is found in a clip at the centre back of the waistline, adding a subtle yet elegant sparkle to the otherwise understated ensemble. The jazz age came alive in Hollywood during the 1930s, and this photograph encapsulates the era's glamour and sophistication. Allan's gown, with its sleek lines and shimmering fabric, exudes an air of mystery and allure, making it a standout piece from the film. The gown's simple yet effective design showcases Tree's exceptional talent for creating costumes that not only fit the character but also resonated with the times. The silver lame fabric adds a touch of modernity to the classic silhouette, making it a perfect blend of old-world elegance and contemporary style. The gown's timeless beauty continues to inspire fashion enthusiasts and costume designers to this day, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of Hollywood glamour and costume design.
