Size 10 Strapless Cocktail Dress - Malcolm Starr 1960s Party Gown - White Silk Chiffon & Pearl Fringe Beadwork - 60s Deadstock - Bust 36
$ 399.99
An exquisite designer dress from the early 1960s, sexy as a bombshell with a heavy band of beaded fringe to the strapless bandeau neckline. This Malcolm Starr cocktail dress is an A-line sheath of chiffon over crepe, flirty and swirling in a cascading wrap effect to the front skirt. It's a red carpet-worthy dress in stunning mid-century glamour with the original 60s boutique tag attached. The 1960s price was $190.00 - that's over $1,400 in today's dollars!
