About the Item

A true beauty to behold. This original 1950's duchess satin dress, rendered in a soft shade of sweet pink and accented by the most divine pleat work, is a timeless beauty to behold and a must have in your vintage collection. The V shaped cross over neckline of the dress, is accented by wide shoulder straps and a sleeveless cut. The elegant fitted bodice is set off by cross over pleats which radiate from each yoke, crossing over along the left hand side of the bodice, creating a textural and decadent design, whilst drawing the eye in to the cinched in waistline. The near full circle cut of the skirt, is accented by rounded and draped pleats that fall from either side of the front of the waistline area, creating draped pleats along either side of the skirt line, framing the elegant central panel, which drapes from beneath curved seams. This dress has been photographed with a medium petticoat for added volume, this is not included within the listing.
