Elegant evening or cocktail dress in organza, unidentified Haute Couture from the 1950s. Bodice with low-cut neckine, halterneck, marked waist and loose skirt, give to this dress an air of New Look. Cream and black silk organza finely pleated and draped for the strapless with underwiring, corseted and lined with cream cotton. A skirt with a wide background in double straw yellow shimmering organza. Three petticoats, two in cream cotton tulle, and one in yellow nylon lined with rigid tulle to shape a very glamorous round silhouette. Excellent condition of color and conservation.
