Gorgeous 1950s Black Fringe Pin Up Cocktail Dress designer-issey-miyake The skirt is cut classically

The skirt is cut classically full full full and I have photoed it over a crinoline so you really get the beauty of it (crinoline not included)

Item# S437

It is a faux criss crossed bodice so the pleating really shines through - the skirt drapes form that bodice beautifully

The skirt also falls on the bias from a curved seam at the waist and there is a high slit that exposes the thigh - set so high that it is almost scandalous

Gorgeous 1950s Black Fringe Pin Up Cocktail Dress designer-issey-miyake The skirt is cut classicallyA really wonderful late forties, early fifties bombshell of a dress that is made of a inky black silk crepe that is then completely covered in tightly spaced rows of fringe! with little bows embroidered through the fabric. The fringed rows sit atop each other in a layered pattern from top to bottom and the movement this creates every time you move is just fabulous! The top is kept simple and sexy with tiny straps for the shoulders and a simple bodice.
