Black tulle party dress, 1950s

I love the elegance of the figure flattering party dresses of the 1950s. This one allows your figure to show through the sheer black tulle over bodice. This beauty is feminine, alluring, and womanly.

The black tulle fabric, which appears to be beaded, is actually woven with a design of three dimensional pile. The "beaded" design is highlighted with satin bows on the skirt front.

The tulle skirt features an under layer of plain black fabric stiffened with interlining to hold the shape. An attached crinoline adds additional support. The tulle over bodice is lined with black silk chiffon. The black taffeta under bodice is boned. The dress closes in back with a metal zipper.

It is rare in today's fashion to see the unabashed celebration of feminine beauty with such grace and style. Here is a dress for a self-confident woman who enjoys her femininity. She is animated, intelligent, original: a stylish and captivating woman.

The condition is excellent. It is clean and ready to wear.

It measures: 36" bust, 26" waist, 44" hip, 16" from the shoulder to the waist, and 43" from the shoulder to the hem.
