1950s Gorgeous Green Strapless Full Skirt Dress
What a fantastic and beautiful fifties dress that works equally well for day or evening. These are getting harder and harder to find and this one is a real beauty. It is as feminine and romantic as you could wish for. The fabric is slightly textured silky rayon that has a sharkskin effect which gives it a beautiful iridescent quality to it in the light. Over this is a pattern of flowers that are embroidered in a darker green onto the fabric and done in a way that highlights the cut of the dress. The skirt is wonderfully full - it was shot with a light crinoline underneath to give you an idea of just how full it is and so that you can see the extent of the pleat work. I love how those exacting knife pleats are deliberately placed to give the skirt volume but also left off at the very front so you don't add size to the person wearing it. It moves wonderfully and you can of course wear it without a crinoline too. The bodice is the same fabric that is shaped and boned with a scalloped, strapless bust line. This same soft scalloping is how the skirt is finished as well. Such a romantic touch. Really outstanding and just a beautiful dress in every way. Excellent condition.
Fully lined in a silky rayon and is lightly boned through the top. It closes with a painted back metal zipper and hook & eye. The crinoline used for styling purposes is not included. Hand finished.
