This vintage 1950's dress, rendered in a woven cream thread and gold lurex fabric in a checkered pattern and lined in cream rayon, is just the piece for your timeless collection.
The rounded neckline is accented by pointed notched features along the centre front and curved shoulder straps, that set off the sleeveless cut. The fitted bodice, draws the eye to the cinched in waistline. The elegant line of the skirt, is accented by pocket features along either side of the front of the hipline, with the right hand side pocket embellished with black velvet rose and leaf appliqués. Finished with a central slit along the back of the hemline, this dress showcases the iconic silhouette of the era.
