About the Item

Rendered in the most eye-catching shade of cobalt blue satin, with contrasting black satin accents, and delicate black beadwork in the from of fluttering butterflies above black brocade butterfly patterns, this truly spectacular 1950's cocktail dress, is just the piece for that special occasion. The stylised sweetheart neckline is edged with black satin shoulder straps and a black satin border contouring the décolletage and top of the bodice. The sleeveless cut, sets off the fitted bodice, which is accented by tailored bust and waist darts, which draw the eye to the fitted waistline. The tulip cut skirt-line, is set off by two petal cut skirt panels, which radiate down from the central part of the waistline, and are edged with black satin borders. The tulip panels sit above a fitted straight cut skirt, which showcases the butterfly brocade pattern along the hipline which is not beaded and beadwork from where the tulip cut opens up. The skirt is finished with a central slit along the back of the hemline. This dress is fully lined in black silk.
