50's Basque Waist Cotton Dress

This 1950s dress is totally unique, featuring a dropped "basque" waistline with a tailored bodice - the craftsmanship of this piece is incredible, and the fit is in a class of its own. This dress is super flattering as the paneled bodice nips your waist, creating an hourglass figure. Features a shawl collar with guipure lace underlay and embroidered crystal details, and a full, slightly gathered skirt. Made of a cotton blend (actual material not listed) and zips in the back. Measurements: Shoulder to shoulder: 12" Bust: 34" Waist: 26" Length: 44. 5" Great vintage condition. This item is sold from an excellent, highly rated vintage seller in New York, NY.
