Exotic Jonny Herbert 1950s black embroidered white chiffon vintage dress. Taffeta lined and in exquisite condition!
The runways for Fall 2007 were loaded with influences from the 1940's and 50s!
I love the elegant and feminine party dresses from the 1950s. After the mannish fashions and the fabric rationing of WWII, the fashion world was ready for a change. The curvy female figure was back in vogue with full-skirted styles that emphasized a small waist and drew attention to the bust.
In this flirtatious black/ivory party dress, the designer adds depth to the design by layering fabrics. The top layer of white chiffon is embroidered with abstract ivory & black swivels. Peeking through the top layer is a layer of taffetta tulle, under which is ivory satin.
The full skirt is supported by the three layers acting as a three layer crinoline to hold the shape. The dress closes in back with a metal zipper.
