Red Silver Lamé Cocktail Wiggle Dress, 1950's

About the Item

Bombshell beauty! 1950's wiggle dress in a slinky red silver lamé fabric with a bow accent at the bodice and hip pockets. The sleeveless silhouette zips and hooks at the scoop back with a shallow kick pleat at the hem and a satin acetate lining. This one would make Marilyn Monroe proud! No maker's label though it appears to be commercially made. CONDITION Good vintage condition with some wear to the red finish of the metal zipper pull. Professionally cleaned and ready for wear.
