Truly beautiful fifties cocktail dress. It's really an exceptional piece designed by Karen Stark for Harvey Berin. Impeccably constructed it is a joy to see on a real girl. The cut follows every curve and the skit is a long lean pencil shape made of black silk crepe. The waist cinches with a 4" banding. The top of this piece is really what gives it the absolute wow factor. A nude blush pink corset top sits under transparent silk chiffon in black. The bust is peaked - its really two pointed triangles that cross each other and are curved and seamed to follow your bust line. The color peaks through the black in the most provocative way. I love the bow - its the same silk satin used for the corseted inside but its center knot has been carefully covered in black silk crepe to make it all work perfectly! And don't think the back won't leave them panting after all that - it's a deep V that allows you bare skin to give a subtle sexy departure! Gorgeous and in excellent condition!
