40s ransohoffs silk golden dress help

[victoryvtg]

Hi,

I think this dress is early 40s, but not sure. Anybody have an idea what it was used for? Day, dinners, events or something else? Lastly, any idea on provenance of designer? It has a ransohoffs label but no other labels, that i could find.

Thanks!!!

Can you show us a photo of the label?

Its a c. 1947 afternoon dress, a dressy daytime dress that looks great with high heeled shoes and hats...

I agree with Jonathan and so lovely! Especially the color! Could you please show a picture of the label?

Wow - I love the fancy peplum!

Have you checked on the underside of the selvage of the seams in the skirt? Sometimes the label is hidden in there. I love finding those!
