Size 8 Cocktail Dress - Designer 1960s Glamour Girl - Tres Elegant Mushroom Gray Jersey - 60s Mollie Parnis Boutique New York - Waist 27

This exquisitely elegant cocktail dress was made in the mid 1960s, though its silhouette is very reminiscent of New Look designs from two decades earlier. It has a plunge V-neck, gathers under the bust and a fitted buttoned torso. The skirt is a gorgeous flare, nearly a full circle, with hidden pockets at the side seams. A beautiful find in minimalist lines by haute fashion designer Mollie Parnis.
