Beautiful summer ball gown in taffeta mottled with large bunches of carnations (?) undulating, without claw and dating from the 1950s.  Superb silk taffeta crisp, printed on chain, probably from a manufacture in Lyon. Sleeveless dress, large V-neckline on bustier curved marrying the waist to the haunted silhouette. Wrap skirt with large bottom, mounted with small folds on the hips. Side zipper and unlined. Beautiful hand-sewn finishes. This dress requires a petticoat. No defects. Very nice freshness and good condition.
