Emma Domb Red Bib Front Ballerina Party Dress with Satin Cummerbund – S, 1950s
About the Item
A balance of masculine and feminine, this frothy party dress pairs tuxedo references like bib pleating and a wide cummerbund with an undeniably ladylike silhouette complete with a 25-foot sweep. A guaranteed head-turner for the woman seeking feminine but not girly, right down to the fire engine red hue.
Sleeveless, nearly off-shoulder party dress with pleated bib style bodice and low scooping front and back neckline; neckline and arm holes piped in satin. Heavily gathered full skirt with crinoline and inner slip underneath; wide plain satin cummerbund with criss-cross detail at back. Side metal zipper closure with hook and eye at waist; bodice lined in acetate.

Sheer Indian Black Silk and Gold Bead Kaftan Coat - M-L, 1980s
Located in Tucson, AZ
Halfway between a kaftan and a maxi coat, this sheer topper makes up in glamour what it lacks in warmth. The repeating floral pattern consists of clear bugle beads that catch and reflect light, while the hollow gold balls at each flower's center create evening-worthy shimmer. This single garment has the power to elevate the humblest outfit and would be a perfect travel or resort piece; it could even be worn as a bathing suit cover up!
