Made in the most sumptuous shades of lilac and grey in a silk brocade pattern of intertwined ribbons, this original 1950's halter neck dress is just the piece for your cocktail wardrobe. The halter neckline frames a sweetheart shaped décolletage with a pointed turned down collar along the top of the bust-line. The fitted bodice boasts curved seams that run from the top of the bodice and join the elegant waistline in a point. The cinched in waistline, sets off the full circle skirt, photographed here with a medium petticoat for added volume. The petticoat is not included in the listing.
