KNOCKOUT Red & Black Embroidered Taffeta 1950's Cocktail Dress
Item v5120 ... Price: $285 SOLD

A stunning, rustling black taffeta 1950's cocktail dress covered in striking red embroidery. Strapless, heart shaped bodice is edged with embroidered floral appliques and has an attached "V" shaped overlay that forms wide straps (could be removed to wear strapless if you prefer). Dress has a full, circle skirt with side seam pockets (shown here with a crinoline... not included). Side metal zipper. Bodice is boned. Label reads, "A Frances Prisco Original." String belt loops, but no belt (the previous owner used a black grosgrain ribbon as a belt... we'll include it but it isn't original). To see a close up of the bodice, please click here.
