This dress has a broad scoop neckline, half sleeves and a lavish pleated drape across the bodice front, continuing into a gathered fall at the left skirt. Its original sash style belt is included, basted to the right waist with a self buckle closing the left. A gorgeous 1950s find with the original tag attached.
