Black Silk Moiré Jeweled Tea Dress and Red-Lined Opera Coat Ensemble - XS, 1950s
About the Item
Incredible as separates and magnificent worn together, this ensemble is both formal and whimsical thanks to the dress's shorter length and full skirt. The coat--featuring a brilliant red lining and trapeze-style sweep--can easily hold its own with other outfits; the dress's corset-sewn waist is nothing short of fashion sculpture. Unforgettable.
Matching circle dress and opera coat set of black silk moiré. Sleeveless dress features plunging front and rear neckline and 12 princess seams around full bodice circumference for corset-style fit; bead and rhinestone detail at front bodice and shoulders. Drop waist with full circle skirt; notch at front center bust. Rear metal zipper closure with hook and eye at rear center neck; interior hanging loops. Matching opera coat features pointed shawl collar, curved rear yoke and ¾ point-inset dolman sleeves; on-seam pockets each side. Trapeze construction with clutch front and no closures of any kind. Dress lined in red acetate at shoulders and upper bodice, and in horse hair backing around waist; coat fully lined in red acetate.
