It works from day to night depending on how you style it

It is just amazing

The pants have a slight fade line down the top of one thigh - this appears to be from improper storage in strong sunlight

1950s Silk and Net Lace Beaded Cocktail Dress designer-luis-estevez It works from day toA very beautiful fifties cocktail dress that is well made and striking. Made by Seymour Jacobsen, the dress is made of a combination of silk and appliqued netting. The skirt is a full cut silk faille and I love how the fullness is derived from the flat, sharp pleats set on each side of the waist but under where the curve of the waist is defined. This technique leaves the front and back skirt with slightly less fulness so you have a sleek, lean feel
