DESCRIPTION:
This is a stunning original 1950's taffeta and velvet cocktail party / prom dress. Made of the swishiest silkiest midnight black taffeta, this beauty features a classic New Look silhouette with a fitted bodice, nipped waist and impressive full skirt. This fabric is the heavy taffeta that has such fabulous body that it nearly doesn't need a crini. The silken black velvet bodice features front ruched petal attachement that enhances a small bust. It is trimmed with a black velvet ribbon bow with streamers. The straps are made of black velvet ribbon also. The nipped waist is accented with a ruched or gathered cumberbund effect and sits over an amazingly full skirt that rustles and swings with movement! The bodice is fully lined and zips up the back with a metal zipper. A knock-out dress that will stand-out at your next dance, cocktail party, or special event.
