About the Item

This breathtaking 1950's duchess satin gown, in the most eye-catching shade of emerald green, accented by gathered pleats and a decorative bow, is the perfect piece for that special occasion.

The ballerina length of the dress is accented by gathered pleats that drape from the cinched in waistline, completing this dress in a timeless and iconic 1950's silhouette.
