Pink-Lavender New Look Strapless Tiered Lace Ballerina Party Dress – S-M, 1950s

About the Item

A candy colored confection smack dab between pink and lavender, this little trifle is similar to a Christian Dior Haute Couture gown that debuted at the 2011 Resort/Cruise show in Shanghai. The Dior came in *slightly* more expensive at an estimated cost of $150,000. With its 14-foot sweep, it would make a perfect summer party frock or even a non-traditional wedding gown. Strapless sweetheart party dress with three rows of self ruffles across bustline and 16 rows down full length of skirt. Flexible boning in front and back princess bodice and single-layer tulle crinoline between skirt and lining for fullness. Side metal zipper closure with top hook and eye; hanging loops.
