Although this lace overlay style has been copied a lot in the last few years, it’s never done as well as this! How unusual to see this deep Wedgwood blue color fully lined in a dusty rosy lilac color.
With a fabric-covered belt and the whole bit – very pretty and feminine. This one is not equipped with netting and under-skirts, but you could put a crinoline underneath if desired.
I watched the film The Theory of Everything last night (the story of Stephen Hawking and his wife), which began in the early ’60’s in England. Lots of dresses like this in those scenes!

Here’s the flip-side of sweet – my favorite strapless number from the 1950’s. Rayon with beading and a killer fit.
I love to imagine where this one has or could have been. Smokey nightclubs come to mind. Maybe she was a singer.
