New Look Taupe Silk Sateen Jacquard Cutaway Decolletage Party Dress - S, 1950s
About the Item
From the estate of a mid-century opera singer comes this New Look party dress, which looks like it might have stepped out of a Henry Clarke fashion shoot. High fashion touches like a cummerbund waist and cutaway skirt are complemented by thoughtful details like elastic bodice loops (to keep the neckline from falling open) and an attached crinoline.
Sweetheart surplice bodice party dress with short sleeves and inset cummerbund waist; low scooped back. Cutaway front petal skirt with voluminous waist gathers (especially at rear); ornamental center back bow. Rear metal zipper closure with hook and eye at zipper top and mid-back; additional hook and eye beneath one side of rear bow. Self-covered lingerie snaps at shoulders; heavyweight jacquard fabric backed in nylon, plus attached tulle interior crinoline.
