An EXQUISITE 1950's cocktail dress in gibraltar gray lace from a fine Italian atelier (Bellenghi is typically thought of along the same lines as Sorelle Fontana, though Bellenghi dresses hit the market much more rarely than Sorelle Fontana dresses). This was purchased from the same woman as the Gres cocktail dress we listed last week and is every bit as fine in style and construction (lots of hand finishing and incredible attention to detail). Heart shaped fitted bodice with gray silk bands. Thin straps with attached, draped shoulder caps. Attached tie belt. Dress has a full skirt with vertical bands of silk (shown here with an additional crinoline... not included). Dress is fully lined in gray silk. Rear metal zipper. Bodice is boned and has an interior waistband. Label reads, "Bellenghi, FIRENZE." To see a close up of the bodice, please click here. To see the rear of this dress, please click here.

Size (need help with your measurements? click here): 34 1/2" bust, 27" waist, full hips. Approximately 46" from shoulder to hem.

Condition: In good condition. Some scattered small holes in the lace as well as some scattered orange dots throughout.
