An exquisite basque drop waist dress with a high low hem in a beautiful heavier weight lace.
Made in the 70s with a 20s pattern

20s flutter sleeves that are feminine and flattering without being overly modest
Pearl beaded lace around the collar and bodice with a sheer netting at neckline
Princess seams from top to waist for a flattering fitted look

Dropped waist with a classically flattering basque waistline which elongates and slims the torso

The back of the dress has 20 tiny satin covered buttons with loops
A large satin bow with a snap on one side to allow for the zipper to come all the way down
This dress is in such mint condition it appears to have never been worn although I had
it professionally eco cleaned without the use of any chemicals.  

The dress has a satin slip underneath it

Appears to have been custom made
The dress has been beautifully stored in a cloth bag in a new Ikea wardrobe, fresh and ready to wear
