1950s gorgeous black and red taffeta scalloped dress

A sublime 1950s party dress, in a rare larger size. two layers of taffeta, black on top with a scarlet red underneath, which peaks through the eyelet embroidery on the black layer. double scalloped neckline, short sleeves. full swishy skirt. looks beautiful with a petticoat! I love this dress because it's versatile for many occasions and seasons because of the short sleeves and the colours. I can't decide if I like it more as a moody summer dress or as a Christmas / Valentine's dress! recommended for size large - extra large. bust up to 48", waist 32" or tight 33", and 44" length. condition is consistent with age, I would say good vintage condition. some imperfections but nothing showstopping. smoke and pet free home. reasonable offers accepted, message for any questions. please have a look at my closet for other true vintage items, more to be posted weekly. thanks for shopping my closet! party dress, MCM, 1940s, 1950s, embroidery, holiday, summer, vintage
