Beautiful 1950's taffeta evening gown. The has "V" shape strapless of gray, pink, yellow and white. The larger strips are gray and the next largest are pink the rest are pin stripes. The gown is strapless and boned. with a black velvet bow in the center. Side metal zipper. This gown had water spilled on the bodice, it doesn't show as much as the photo's the strips hide it. The back shows the most. Maybe some thing can be placed over the bodice like lace . The dress has a natural waist line with "V" seams both back and front. Very full "A" line shape floor length skirt. The skirt has 2 tiny holes smaller the the head of a pencil eraser they hide in the folds of the skirt. 28 inch bust, 21 inch waist, 54 inches long from above the bust to the hem.
