Hi Everyone!
This is my first post here. I am new the site and really wish I would have found it sooner.

Yesterday I found a dress with an offwhite label that reads " Adaptation Vionnet" in pink.
It is definitely a bias cut dress adorned with rhinestones in a diamond shape pattern on the bodice.

Hope someone can tell me a little bit about this dress.

Posted the photo of tag.

sure, sorry the picture doesn't really do it a lot of justice and it is very wrinkly...trying to find a cleaner i trust. the back is the same but with a slit from waistline to neck and hook and eye closure, also floor length.

Thank you. I thought that was what it meant judging by the one dress's description listed on ebay, but wanted to double check.
It is probably that old though?
It feels very old and giving the circumstances of where I found this dress and other things found with it, I think it is from the late 30s.
Pretty cool... sure does sculpt you when wearing!
 
I was so surprised when I tried it on that it fit perfectly...so yes it will be staying in my closet for at least a good number of years. :) thank you all
 
Hope you will have the opportunity to try it on when someone is available to photograph you wearing it - so we can see you in it, and appreciate it more fully!
