This is a lovely 50s dress made with a top layer of lace over an acetate taffeta base. The dress is sleeveless and has a full skirt. It has a scoop neckline at the front and a V shaped neck at the back. It has a dropped waist with loops at the natural waist for a belt, but no belt is included. There is a matching decorative bow at the left of the dropped waist seam. The dress was posed with a crinoline underneath - no crinoline is provided, so to get the same 50s dress full skirt look you would need to own or acquire a crinoline. The dress does up the back with a metal zipper.
