This is a wonderful early 1950s era “crinoline” dress made in a very pretty tone of purple silk taffeta. The dress has padded shoulders and a sweetheart type neckline with a fold back collar that could maybe be worn pinned forward. It has below the elbow length sleeves, a defined waist and a matching rope type belt. The skirt is cut full, like a circle skirt, and posed with a crinoline, but no crinoline is supplied. The dress does up the side with a fine tooth metal zipper.
Label: no label, probably seamstress made, but expertly constructed
