Vintage 1950's Calabri Italian Couture Black Velvet & Scalloped Lace Party Dress
About the Item
A stunning Calabri couture Florence, Italy beauty dating back to the mid 1950's. This is perhaps the most alluring and flattering "little black dress" I have ever seen. Fashioned from silk-velvet & scalloped illusion lace, this creation has everything a woman wants. The boned bodice has a seductive low-cut plunge with ribbon detail. I adore the hourglass nipped-waist which was the signature style for a 1950's 'New Look 'craze. The full swing skirt with unique angled lace finishes this beauty off with a perfect femme fatale silhouette. This will be the party dress you reach for every time you want to look dynamite.
