By Frank Starr

Located in San Diego, CA

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...

1950s Deadstock Pink Ivory Beaded Floral Party Dress XS 00 0 Full Skirt 50s New

1950s Deadstock Pink Ivory Beaded Floral Party Dress XS 00 0 Full Skirt 50s New

Located in San Diego, CA

Approximately Size XS / 00 - 0 Measurements: Bust: 30–32 inches Waist: 24 inches Hips: Free Length (top back shoulder to hem): 37 inches Absolutely enchanting 1950s deadstock party dress in a dreamy ivory and blush pink palette, featuring intricate floral appliqué, delicate beadwork, and scattered rhinestone embellishments across the bodice. This piece feels like it stepped straight out of a mid-century garden soirée—soft, romantic, and impossibly feminine. The structured bodice is beautifully tailored with a sheer illusion overlay, adorned with dimensional pink roses, pearl-like beading, and subtle sparkle that catches the light with movement. The waist is defined with a vivid fuchsia velvet ribbon tie, adding a striking contrast and a touch of playful sophistication. The skirt falls into a classic full silhouette with soft volume and graceful drape, creating that iconic 1950s fit and flare shape. The interior construction and untouched condition confirm its true deadstock status—an increasingly rare find in this level of preservation. Please note: the dress was slightly too small to fully close on the mannequin, but this does not affect the integrity of the garment. A standout collector’s piece that can be styled for modern wear, bridal events, garden parties, or editorial moments. ⸻ Measurements: Bust: 30–32 inches Waist: 24 inches Hips: Free Length (top back shoulder to hem): 37 inches ⸻ Condition: Excellent deadstock condition with original tags attached.
