1950s Edith Small Lace Cocktail Dress
This dress is drop dead gorgeous in every single way. It is gorgeous! Look closely and you will see that the lace is actually all rows stacked on top of each other! Each of the lace rows is stitched separately into place and set to just slightly overlap the row above and below it!! Because of the way the dress is cut this would have been designed and then the lace applied to the fabric to accommodate the design. The bodice has wide straps with the same technique used and a square cut neckline. It follows the wearers curves and nips in at the waist. The skirt skims over the hips with a built in pleat at the back that allows the wearer to walk! The color is gorgeous too - a pale nude peach that is very flattering. Excellent condition, extremely well made and appears unworn
