1950s Gold Pleated Bodice Silk Satin Cocktail Dress
About the Item
A highly desirable, original, 1950s cocktail dress which could easily be worn as an alternative wedding dress. The fabric is a beautiful gold coloured silk satin and the dress features a well executed pleated bodice with an asymmetric bow with long ribbons that fall below the waist line. The unusual straps begin at the front of the pleated bodice and arrive on the shoulders to form vertical straps. The skirt is made up of aligned panels which flare and give the dress body and shape.
We have photographed this dress without a petticoat. There would be further flare with the addition of underskirt(s) and either look is desirable. The dress is in very good vintage condition but we have noted the following; there is slight fraying under the arms on the dress (we have done our best to address this fault) and although minor in nature, it cannot be reversed but could easily be folded over further if desired. It is not noticeable when worn. There are also one or two very small holes in the fabric no bigger than a pinprick. The satin fabric is in very fresh, clean condition with no marks. It is unusual to find a dress of this age that has not been stained in some way. Overall the dress presents very nicely and is priced with these minor issues in mind. No labels are present; this is a very good quality manufactured dress and would fit up to a UK size 8, small 10 or US size 4.
