COPPER CHIFFON Vintage 50s Silk Illusion Cocktail Dress back

COPPER CHIFFON Vintage 50s Silk Illusion Cocktail Dress

 

Dress is beautifully made of a coppery satin lining, probably acetate, overlayed with a sheer chocolate brown chiffon that tests positive for silk. The effect is shimmery and light, perfect to sashay into Spring.

 

The curvy top has a wide waist-nipping band with bust darted wide straps that dip to a cleavage friendly V, both front and back. The illusion has 3/4 sleeves and scoop neckline to add a bit of mystery. Ruching at the sides softens the cummerbund style waist. An adorable fringey flower accents the center.

 

The full skirt flows from wide flared panels in the lining, soft gathers in the chiffon which is nearly a complete circle. We show it extra fluffy with a crinoline, but it's nice without, as the front detail shows. Long metal zipper up the back. Only the paper size label remains.
