Vintage 50s Sculpted Silk Cocktail Dress
This uber curvy little dress is beautifully made of sky blue shantung silk, with lush texture and sheen, lined with darker lightweight satin, probably rayon.
The hourglass fit comes from double waist darts, front and back, that nip the waist at angles. Marilyn would have loved the couture bustline detail: center bust pleats with a sculpted arrow point swoops up the center and under the bust, leaving a pretty W neckline.
The dress hugs curves all the way down to more couture details: a repeat of the same arrow shape at the front hem, with more pleats fanning beautifully out from there. Small back kick pleat so you don't have to mince unless you want to. Long back metal zip. Label: Ce Bon Fashion.
