50s/60s Sequined Bodice Cocktail Dress
Sheath dress from the 1950s or early 60s with sequined cream lace bodice over a light blue pencil skirt. Note variety of sequin colors outlining the floral pattern. Lined bodice has ballet neckline, very short sleeves, bra stays and princess seams, and ends in a point at the defined, nipped waist with self-belt and front bow. Skirt is unlined. Closes at back with metal CC zipper and top hook&eye. From my personal collection.
This light blue and sparkly cream party or cocktail dress would make a lovely MOH, rehearsal dinner, or bridesmaid outfit, or even a wedding dress for the non-traditional bride.
Labels: none remain, beautifully crafted
Fiber/Care: no tags, cotton lace, sequins, cotton bodice lining, linen skirt
Condition: no flaws to note. we had the skirt professionally taken in, but have let it back out to its original state. as you can see in the interior photos, there are generous seam allowances to create a custom fit for your figure, if needed.
*We've had this wiggle dress professionally dry-cleaned and it's ready to wear.*
