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.

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.
