Size 10 1950s Bombshell Dress - Drama Queen Amethyst Purple Taffeta Cocktail - 40s 50s Asymmetric Jagged Peplum - Off Shoulder - Waist 28
$ 249.99
1950s purple cocktail dress, fit for a drama queen! This bombshell dress has a boned bodice with a petal bust & a halter "shrug" hugging the shoulders. The halter ends in glittering ornate rhinestone clips, and there are spaghetti straps, though they could be removed if preferred. The dress is a svelte rustling shotcloth taffeta hourglass with a fitted skirt in two layers - a pair of deep jagged tulip style peplum panels over a lean straight skirt. The peplum has an oversized bow at left back, very Marilyn... late 1940s to early 50s.
