1950s Silk Taffeta Mollie Parnis Dress
The exterior of this stunning Mollie Parnis dress is fashioned out of black silk taffeta which helps give it a bit of structure and allows it to hold its gorgeous shape. The cut of this dress is absolutely gorgeous! It has a high neckline with an exaggerated and ruffled collar. Those same ruffles are mirrored at each cuff and as a swooping finish to the skirt. The top skims over the bust and nips in at the waist. From there the skirt skims over the hips to a wide ruffled flare that ends just below the knees. It has that perfect, chic late fifties, early sixties feel and looks to have never been worn. A superb and early example of the label and in excellent, unworn condition.
