1950s Exotic Print Organza Dress & Wrap

This is not the type of piece you automatically think of when you think of the fifties but a small group of designers - like Tina Leser for example - were producing pieces made of exotic fabrics like this. Its very exotic and colorful and quite beautiful. The overlay is a silk organza in a deep burnt coral. It has gold and metallic blue threading running through it along with woven in stripes of red and coral. I love the shots of purple and greens too! It's strapless and the top skirting is very full. The organza has a nice bit of shape to it so the illusion of a very full skirt is kept. This comes with its original wrap. It has no label but if this did turn out to be a Tina Leser piece I would not be surprised! Wonderful piece and in excellent condition!
