1950s Black Chiffon Grecian Cocktail Dress

This lovely little black fifties cocktail dress is a dream. Made of a chiffon it has a touch of a Grecian feel to it with that bodice and the way the chiffon is layered over the inning part. Two panels of chiffon sweep down over the bodice in deep plunges. The inner bodice is a nude chiffon covered with an applique of braided cord. A panel of gathered chiffon defines the waist and then the skirt sweep out and is quite full. There is enough skirt that you could wear a crinoline under it and get a very full cupcake effect. Excellent condition

The bodice is two layers of the nude chiffon and the skirt is lined in a black silky taffeta rayon. It closes with a painted metal back zipper.

Bust: 18" flat across from side seam to side seam
