Rendered in the most eye-catching combination of gold silk and lurex floral brocade set against vibrant emerald green silk chiffon, this original 1950's cocktail dress is just the piece for that special occasion.
The soft rounded neckline, is framed by medium width shoulder straps and a sleeveless cut. The elegant fitted bodice, is accented by tailored darts along the bust-line and bodice, which draw the eye to the cinched in waistline. The waistline is accented by a matching brocade belt which is decorated with a brocade bow above the concealed hook and eye fastening. The full circle cut of the skirt, is accented by the gathered pleats along the waistline, which drape along the length of the skirt, completing this dress is a soft silk chiffon silhouette. This dress is lined in cream rayon along the bodice and green rayon along the skirt.
