Size 6 Yellow Cocktail Dress - 1950s 60s Silk Fitted Sheath with Fishnet, Beadwork & Rhinestones - Gorgeous 50s Marilyn Hourglass - Waist 26

Very pretty 1950s yellow cocktail dress with gorgeous details! This late 50s silk sheath is an hourglass, svelte and sophisticated, with an attached beaded "jacket" that curves like a pair of petals to the bodice. The overlay is sheer fishnet with self appliques, glittering rhinestones, and hand-beaded accents. An unusual and beautiful fitted dress, lined in sheer organza to the overlay and in taffeta to the sheath itself.
