Sparkly little snow white and silver Blanes, London early 60s strapless cocktail dress - absolutely delicious! Sparkly woven slightly slubby synthetic with metallic weave, fully lined and boned. Bodice is strapless with boning to the bust and a pleated design to the wide waistband. Full skirt with a wrap design to the front and neat pleating to the sides of the hip. Back metal zipper to fasten. This is so sweet and also wears well over blouses if you want added coverage.
Dress is pictured with a petticoat which is not included in the sale.
SIZE
The dress is labeled a size 12 but fits approx like an XS in modern sizing, I would say closest to a UK6. For your best fit please refer to the measurements.
Fit on model: as shown, but very snug in bust and waist so best suit someone smaller
