Rendered in an iconic and breathtaking silhouette, this original 1950's cocktail dress rendered in a black silk and embellished with trailing black glass beadwork, is the perfect piece to dazzle with.
The elegant rounded neckline, is framed by a border of black glass bugle beads, which contour the neckline and slim shoulder straps. The blouson cut of the bodice, draws in along the fitted waistline, from which gentle pleats radiate upwards along the base the bodice and downwards below the waistline. The cinched in waistline, is accented by a matching silk beaded belt, which draws the eye to the fitted cut of the skirt line, completing this dress in an iconic 1950's cocktail silhouette. This dress is fully lined in silk.
