Comments: A breath takingly beautiful
mid 1950s ball gown. Neiman Marcus' in store couture workmanship at this
period of time was remarkable. The bodice is beaded on net under appliqués
of silk faille camellias and leaves. The skirt is voluminous, box
pleated and tightly gathered into the bodice. The masterful interior
foundation construction equals the beauty of the outer garment. This
ball gown is a timeless treasure.
