Black Silk Embroidered Ballgown

Fitted and full, sexy and demure, black and floral, this amazing strapless ballgown from the 1950's seems to capture the contradictions in a changing society quite fashionably.

The fitted bodice is boned for support and it sits at the natural waistline in the front, over a severely fitted long skirt. The bodice dips low in the back over a full evening skirt. This dress embodies the glamour of the 1950's and the post war years. It is from the estate of a Main Line Philadelphia socialite who unfortunately removed the label. The fabric is embroidered with copper colored long stem roses and the dress has a full and pristine black tulle crinoline under the full portion of the skirt for extra drama and glamour. This amazing ballgown is in excellent condition.
