1950s Silk Jersey & Tulle Lace Full Skirted Dress designer-james-galanos 5" across from outside edgesAn amazing late forties, early fifties dress that makes a pretty, yet dramatic statement. The top is made from a slinky black silk jersey that is gathered and softly pleated to really show off the bodice. The seams are cut so that you get that pin up, cinch waist feel. I love it and I love the sexy plunge on both the front and back. The skirt is wonderful it is made of three layers over top each other. The innermost layer is a nude silky rayon
