About the Item
This poured-on wiggle dress attracts serious attention on two fronts: first, its aurora borealis sequins shimmer green and purple to resemble eye-catching fish scales. Second, its draped hobble skirt is ruched perfectly at the derrière for a fabulously bodycon, Marilyn Monroe silhouette. A masterful celebration of the (very small!) female form.
Sleeveless wiggle dress with plunging front and rear neckline. Bodice features all-over black aurora borealis sequins and double princess seams in front for poured-on fit. Faux wrap skirt is gathered at right hip and draped across thighs, then ruched at left side, center back and right side. Rear nylon zipper closure; fully lined in black acetate.

Swirling Black Jersey Disco Day Dress with Plunging Bodice – M, 1960s
By Edith Flagg
Located in Tucson, AZ
If you had to choose ONE dress to wear for the rest of your life, choose this one. Its universally flattering cut accentuates even the smallest bustline while the swirling skirt (over ten feet!) skims over the hips and falls gracefully to the knee for dramatic movement. And though it is as light, wrinkle-free and sensuous as silk jersey, its easy care fabric means it is machine washable and supremely packable. A wardrobe workhorse, this dress can take you from day to night, Studio 54 to the Ritz Paris, and brunch to boardroom.
Long sleeve swing dress with plunging neckline and front and rear princess seams from underarm to hem. Gently gathered inverted “V” seam at bust. Rear nylon zipper closure with top hook and eye. Unlined.

Carolina Herrera Black Mini Cocktail Shift Dress w Sequin Bandolier – M, 1980s
By Carolina Herrera
Located in Tucson, AZ
An elusive long sleeved cocktail dress for the lady who wishes to cover her arms but accentuate her legs. This abbreviated—almost mini—shift bridges the gap between covered and uncovered thanks to its short hemline, but balances the attention with the addition of a stylized leaf bandolier that criss crosses the bodice both front and back.
Long sleeve shift dress with wide scooped neckline and black sequin criss-cross leaf trim at front and rear bodice. Lightly padded shoulders and 2” rear vent. Rear nylon zipper closure with top hook and eye; fully lined in black silk.
