Vintage 1950s Green Silk Suzy Perette Dress Satin and Rhinestone Dress UK 8 US 4

About the Item

This truly mesmerising 1950's Suzy Perette dress, rendered in a vibrant shade of evergreen silk, and accented by silver rhinestone button details, is just the perfect piece to add to your vintage collection. The rounded bateau cut of the neckline is framed by simple shoulder straps and a sleeveless cut. The elegant fitted bodice, is accented by tailored darts along the bust-line and curved seams along the central parts of the bodice, which draw the eye to the cinched in waistline and dropped skirt seam. The bodice is accented by a matching silk belt, which is decorated with silver rhinestone button features along each side, setting off the cross over belt design along the left hand side of the waistline. The eye-catching skirt, features box pleats which radiate from the lowered skirt seam and along the length of the skirt-line, completing this dress in a truly iconic 1950's silhouette. The skirt is fully lined in nylon.
