Elegant 1950s silk cocktail dress in black with a vivid rose print in shades of red and pink with deep green foliage.
The dress has a wide bateau neckline, three-quarter sleeves and a beautifully shaped fitted bodice. Darting through the bust and waist creates a defined silhouette before falling into a straight pencil skirt.
A wide self-fabric waistband emphasises the waist and is finished with an oversized structured bow at the front. The floral print is fuller through the bodice and upper skirt, gradually becoming more scattered towards the hem against the black ground.
The silk has a subtle texture and gentle lustre, giving the print richness while also providing enough structure to hold the fitted shape of the dress beautifully.
Finished with a centre back zip and small back vent for ease of movement. A striking 1950s cocktail dress with a classic hourglass silhouette and bold rose print.
