Cashmere Cocktail Dress

Natural creamy cashmere is adorned with glittering jeweled embellishments in this sophisticated, sexy dress from Ben Reig, circa 1950.

The dress has a scoop neckline and cap sleeves. Golden beaded vines and prong set rhinestones turn this luxury fabric into a striking dress. There are no darts, the sexy shape is achieved through a series of interesting and unusual seams. The neckline is bound in unadorned cashmere with generous ties at the center back above a metal zipper. There is a matching narrow belt and belt loops. The skirt is lined in matching silk, it was shortened a little bit, but the fabric remains in the generous hem.

This glamorous dress from the 1950's is in pristine condition.  The leather on the back of the belt is cracked in two places, but this is not visible when the belt is worn.
