Introducing our enchanting 1950's Silk Chiffon Party Dress – a timeless piece that effortlessly captures the spirit of the era. This whimsical dress is a true icon, standing out with a unique charm rarely found elsewhere.

Crafted from luxurious silk chiffon, the dress boasts a fit and flare silhouette. The addition of a crinoline will transform the skirt into a voluminous, almost full-circle spectacle, ensuring you make a statement with every twirl.

The attention to detail is unparalleled, with incredible ruching adorning the entire bodice, adding a whole lot of exquisite craftsmanship to the ensemble. Boning is placed on either side of the torso, guaranteeing a perfect silhouette that will accentuate your curves. There is also a side zip closure with 2 hook and eye clasps to ensure a seamless look. 

A rare find that promises to transport you to a bygone era of glamour and grace.

Some faults to note:
- There is some discolouration around upper edge of bust line
-  A couple of small stains on front part of skirt (looks like an oil stain)
- The centre back of bodice appears to have previously been pin tucked to create a vertical ruching detail. Over time this has become undone, so there are very small vertical holes.
- Some fabric pulls
- There is a split in the polyester under skirt lining, not visible from exterior.
- The halter straps will need to be extended or fastened with a brooch to stay in place if they are not long enough for you
