This is an absolutely gorgeous vintage 50s iridescent taffeta party dress. It has a V neckline and a wide turnover collar, extending from the bust dart. There are 4 buttons to close down the centre front. There is a natural waist seam where a panel extends before the skirt begins. The full skirt (in 4 panels) is tea length and gathered in at a slightly dropped waist. 3/4 length sleeves. Chain stitch belt loops stitched at the waist side seams. Unlined. Best worn with a petticoat.
