LOVE this darling 50s metallic striped party prom dress. Sheer gray slightly stiff organza like outer layer is striped with peach copper metallic thread. Adorable gathered pleat shoulders. Such a flattering inset waist with a wide gathered waistband creates such wonderful curves on even the tiniest frame. Also gives the illusion of a "shelf bust".
This dress was likely originally designed as a prom dress or party dress. Today, pin-up revival, rockabilly life and true vintage living has revived the real value and appreciation of these beauties. wonderful for any well dressed event.

There are two layers to the skirt, the outer is sheer feels like stiff organza. Under layer lining is a nylon acetate.
-- condition of this dress is beautiful with a couple flaws, light average wear. One super faint stain and run on the bust, shown in last pic. May even come out, I have not tried to clean this piece. Also the under layer has what looks like water stains all over it. This is not seen when wearing. Offered as found
