Striking 1950s cocktail dress in black wool rayon with a scattered floral pattern in orange, turquoise and yellow.
The dress has a fitted bodice with short sleeves and a wide bateau neckline that sits beautifully across the shoulders.
Deep pleats at each hip give the skirt extra shape and volume, with small matching fabric bows positioned above the pleats.
The textured wool rayon has a substantial feel with a firm paper like layer bonded to the reverse, giving the fabric additional body and helping the dress hold its shape. The colourful floral design stands out beautifully against the black background.
