1960s Black Beaded Chiffon Jack Bryan Dress

Black poly chiffon is perma pleated into sharp knife pleats on this little beauty. This gives the dress tremendous texture and richness. The skirt has tons of fabric in it and the combination of chiffon and pleats makes it really move. The hem is hand rolled and stitched so it creates a bit of a ruffled effect. The waist nips in and the bodice has a goddessy draped feel because of the chiffon and pleats. The entire front has a plunged to the waist illusion made by using backed nude netting. Onto this is a gorgeous pattern of bead work and rhinestones. The bead work carries up and around the entire neckline. Gorgeous and rich looking, it is one of those great little black dresses you will end up wearing again and again. Excellent condition
