Vintage 1950's Pistachio Green Tulle Dress Strapless Sweetheart Neckline UK 6

About the Item

Rendered in the softest shade of pistachio coloured tulle and decorated with chartreuse green faille ribbon, this original 1950's tulle dress is the perfect piece for that special occasion. The sweetheart strapless neckline of the dress is accented by a central seam which runs along the front of the bust-line, from which pleated tulle radiates across the bust to the front and back of the dress. The fitted waistline, is set off by chartreuse coloured ribbons which pleat and join the front of the dress in two decorative bows. The boned and fitted bodice, sets off the contrasting tulle skirt, which boasts two layers of pistachio tulle and is accented by two tiered layers of tulle along each hip-line, creating a bustle design to either side of the skirt-line. Finished with a pistachio coloured lining along the skirt-line and bodice. This dress has been photographed with a medium petticoat for added volume. This is not included within the listing.
