Approximately Size Medium 📏 Measurements: Bust: 38 inches Waist: 29–30 inches Hips: 62 inches Length (top back shoulder to hem): 42 inches An elegant late 1950s cocktail dress by Frank Starr, showcasing the refined structure and feminine silhouette that defined mid-century American design. Fun Fact—Frank Starr was the father of Malcom Starr. Rendered in black silk, this piece features a beautifully tailored bodice accented by a delicate lace inset at the neckline, framed with subtle bow details that add softness without distraction. The dress is cut with a sculpted waist that flows into a full, voluminous skirt, creating that iconic hourglass silhouette so closely associated with the era. The movement and shape are exceptional, giving it both presence and wearability. Construction details are consistent with quality garments of the period, including a full metal zipper running up the back, finished with a hook-and-eye closure. Frank Starr was known for producing polished, sophisticated dresses during the 1950s and early 1960s, often focusing on clean lines and flattering structure. His designs captured the transition from classic post-war femininity into a more streamlined, modern elegance. This is the perfect black dress—timeless, versatile, and endlessly wearable. It can be styled for formal evening occasions or elevated with contemporary accessories for a modern interpretation. ⸻ 📏 Measurements Bust: 38 inches Waist: 29–30 inches Hips: 62 inches Length (top back shoulder to hem): 42 inches ⸻ ✨ Key Features • Designer: Frank Starr • Era: Late 1950s • Fabric: Black silk • Lace inset neckline • Bow accents at bodice • Full skirt silhouette • Back metal zipper with hook-and-eye closure ⸻ vintage 1950s dress, Frank Starr dress, black cocktail dress, 50s full skirt dress...
