A seductive mid-century cocktail by the nearly impossible to find Italian coutierer Maria Antonelli. Her avant garde ideas and fashion practices were a rare delight even in the day and any of her pieces uncovered now are a true collector's dream. She designed her beautifully constructed clothing directly on the figure rather than using toiles. The fabric itself is a masterpiece; black three dimensional appliqued florets embroidered onto luxurious silk faille. Some of the velvet florets are even adorned with pink crystals. The bodice of this dress is an alluring low-cut plunge that showcases a woman's captivating bustline. The fitted nipped-waist gives the garment so much sex appeal and interest. The narrowing wiggle-skirt construction emphasizes a woman's seductive shape without adding any bulk or volume to the actual hips. This is the type of cocktail you will reach for anytime you want to look like a starlet.
