Approximately Size XS / 00 - 0 Measurements: Bust: 30–32 inches Waist: 24 inches Hips: Free Length (top back shoulder to hem): 37 inches Absolutely enchanting 1950s deadstock party dress in a dreamy ivory and blush pink palette, featuring intricate floral appliqué, delicate beadwork, and scattered rhinestone embellishments across the bodice. This piece feels like it stepped straight out of a mid-century garden soirée—soft, romantic, and impossibly feminine. The structured bodice is beautifully tailored with a sheer illusion overlay, adorned with dimensional pink roses, pearl-like beading, and subtle sparkle that catches the light with movement. The waist is defined with a vivid fuchsia velvet ribbon tie, adding a striking contrast and a touch of playful sophistication. The skirt falls into a classic full silhouette with soft volume and graceful drape, creating that iconic 1950s fit and flare shape. The interior construction and untouched condition confirm its true deadstock status—an increasingly rare find in this level of preservation. Please note: the dress was slightly too small to fully close on the mannequin, but this does not affect the integrity of the garment. A standout collector’s piece that can be styled for modern wear, bridal events, garden parties, or editorial moments. ⸻ Measurements: Bust: 30–32 inches Waist: 24 inches Hips: Free Length (top back shoulder to hem): 37 inches ⸻ Condition: Excellent deadstock condition with original tags attached.
