About the Item

Rare and exquisite Avant Garde BESS MYERSON by Natlynn Demi Couture lipstick red and white one shoulder silk dress! Bess Myerson was a Miss America winner in 1945. She also dabbled into fashion, but her true love was politics. This beauty features a fitted boned bodice with a forgiving full skirt. White semi sheer accordian pleated panel at side back, with an attached bow. Full metal zipper up the side with hook-and-eye closure. A crinoline could also be worn under the skirt for extra fullness. Impeccable construction with so much attention to details. The majority of the workmanship was completed by hand. In great condition. Made in USA Approximately Size Medium (would be easy to alter down) Measurements: 36 inch bust 30 inch waist Up to 54 inch hips (full skirt) 50.5 inches from top shoulder seam to hem
