About the Item

Reminiscent of the architectural designs popularized by Balenciaga, this unique party dress features a stand-away silhouette that appears to float independently from the body that wears it. A wearable hourglass, its shape is nipped in at the petal bust and again at the hem, while its exaggerated hips recall the panniers of the 18th century. A confection made even more beautiful by the bright pink floral embroidery that adorns the bust and thigh. Ballet length spaghetti strap party dress with petal bust, exaggerated hips and bubble hemline; bodice lightly boned. White chiffon overlay embroidered with bright pink flowers at bust and thighs. Rear metal zipper closure with top hook and eye; satin bows at left and right of zipper top. Bodice unlined; attached interior crinoline with rear ties.

Located in San Diego, CA

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.
