Stunning original 1950s "New Look" cocktail dress featuring alternating stripes of stitched pleated black cotton and delicate floral lace. This mid-century gem is fully lined with a cream synthetic fabric and includes an attached crinoline for that iconic full-skirt silhouette. Design details include elegant velvet trim, a soft scoop neckline, and a functional left-side metal seam zipper.
Please Note: This is being sold as a "Wounded" project piece in AS IS condition. It shows age-related discoloration to the lining, ripping and previous repairs at the shoulder straps, and several tears in the lace tiers. Perfect for professional restoration, as a study piece, or for repurposed vintage projects.
