Aqua Ombré Tie Dye Chiffon Ball Gown with Ostrich Feather Trim – XS, 1960s
About the Item
A gown worthy of a dance number with Fred Astaire, this dress has drama by the handful. Yards of swirling chiffon and feathers provide nonstop movement, while the rich ombré tye dye effect creates pools of depth. If movie star glamour is your thing, get ready for your close-up because this dress brings it.
