Want to feel like a princess?  Just slip into this stunning vintage 1950's silk ballgown, from a Fifth Avenue NYC estate, and start looking for your tiara.

Yards and yards of lustrous cream colored silk is taken to another level with the addition of silver beadwork and rhinestone centered flowers.  This brilliant decoration is used lavishly on the bodice of the dress, and the motif is repeated at the hipline of the skirt.  This design goes three quarters of the way around the skirt creating the appearance of a separate train at the back.

The wide straps are attached to the boned inner lining, and a full tulle petticoat is sewn to the waist.  Hooks and eyes close the interior bodice and a metal zipper closes the center back of the dress.

This lovely ballgown is in excellent condition with just a few very faint marks on the bottom of the skirt.  These are shown in the last photograph, however they are so faint that they barely show when the dress is worn.
