Vintage 1950s Lace and Tulle Cocktail Dress With Sunray-Pleated Tulle Ruffled Chest
Vintage 1950s Lace and Tulle Cocktail Dress With Sunray-Pleated Tulle Ruffled Chest
This vintage 1950s lace and tulle cocktail dress is an absolute dream, complete with sunray-pleated tulle ruffles at the chest. This frothy confection is straight out of a 1950s Christian Dior collection— it is unlabeled but Dior was known for this very same style. This dress could make for an amazing vintage bridal option. It features a corset bodice, complete with boning in the front and back to create an hourglass shape, and a full skirt. The outermost layer is a gorgeous ivory lace, backed by a layer of ivory tulle, and finally an opaque blush-toned lining— I really love that this subtle contrast allows the details of the lace to really stand out. The ribbon-woven details at the underbust, waistline, and towards the hem have a ballerina-inspired feeling. (So coquette and balletcore!)
The Vintage Pearl Earrings and Bracelet pictured are also available.
