Adrienne Ames, 1930s, originally uploaded by Gatochy. Click image for 766 x 1117 size. "Low-backed, white evening dresses were used to show off a deep tan. Film star Adrienne Ames wears a classically draped back, which could possibly have been designed by Madeleine Vionnet or Alix Barton (later known as Madame Grès). Almost sci-fi style wide sleeves made the column dresses worn for evening look slimmer and longer." Scanned from the book "Decades of Fashion".
