50s Red Silk Chiffon Dress SOLD
DESCRIPTION: If you haven't watched "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" with Elizabeth Taylor you might not be able to appreciate the understated sex appeal of this particular vintage 1950s piece. A thin layer of LIPSTICK RED silk chiffon covers an equally thin opaque layer of cool satin fabric ( done in a matching shade of red ). A long well concealed metal zipper for closure. Vertical pin tucks and gathers accent the fitted halter style bodice area. The waist area is further accented with horizontal shirring. As the eye continues to travel down from the waist it reaches the full swingy skirt that softly billows out in classic 50s style. Turning our attention to the back of the dress we can't help but notice the eye-catching ultra thin spaghetti straps that encircle the neck and extend to just above the waist area. The openness of the back adds just the right amount of Drama & Flair, don't you agree? Excellent condition. I noticed on one tiny pin hole in the outer layer of silk chiffon and a few faint water marks from recent steaming ( these will come out with a trip to the dry cleaners ). The original label has been removed but the quality and attention to detail are unmistakable. Shown on a size 4 mannequin. Measures: Bust 34" / Waist 24.5" / Hips are Full / Shoulder to waist 15" / Waist to hem of skirt 27".
