An incredibly chic and totally timeless Traina Norell designer ivory silk satin full-skirted cocktail dress dating back to the mid 1950's. This exquisite Traina-Norell museum quality dress exemplifies their signature blend of couture-level quality with quintessentially American style— elegant in its simplicity. The gorgeous garment is fashioned from luxorious mid-weight creamy white silk satin which feels like heaven against the skin. The beautiful bodice has tailored 3/4-length sleeves and matching lace-overlay buttons. The flattering nipped waist full skirted design finishes this garment off with a perfect "new look" silhouette.
