This dramatic 1950’s black cocktail dress by Carlye feels like the perfect blend of “good Sandy” and post-makeover Sandy from Grease — sweet 1950’s elegance with just enough bombshell attitude! This piece has all the hallmarks of classic mid-century party dressing with its sculptural off-the-shoulder neckline, softly folded portrait collar, and oversized bow-tied shoulder details. The fitted bodice flows into an ultra full circle skirt that moves beautifully with every step, complete with hidden side pockets and a small attached crinoline for shape and volume. Photographed with an additional crinoline underneath for extra drama. The crepe rayon black fabric catches the light with a subtle sheen, giving the dress that timeless old Hollywood feel, while the covered button front adds the perfect polished touch down the center. *Extra Crinoline & Belt not included.
Measurements: Bust 37”, Waist 26”, Waist to Hem 31”, Shoulder to Hem 41”
All sales final: It is our mission to disclose all issues found, but all of our items are vintage - which means most of them have been worn or used and may have minor issues. In the event that we have overlooked an issue, it is not because we misrepresented the item, it is because the issue was not apparent enough to demand our attention. We can only apologize for our oversight and hope you can repair the issue, but we do not accept returns for items we have photographed & listed on our website.
