This magnificent 1950's Chantilly lace and silk dress, in a palette of cream lace and apricot silk lining, accented by claw set silver rhinestones, this Howard Greer dress is a rare piece to behold, and a statement piece to your cocktail wardrobe.

The fitted bodice, is accented by tailored darts, whilst the back of the dress is set off by a deep V shape, lined again in sheer/nude organza. The main bodice and skirt of the dress are lined with apricot coloured silk.

The skirt is finished with a scalloped detail to the lace and delicate eyelash lace trim. Fully embellished with claw set silver rhinestones, this mesmerising dress, showcases the talent and stage design Howard Greer was known for.
