The subtle details that took thought and intention are what get us hooked on the quality, care and craftsmanship of 1950s fashion. This beautiful dress from that era borrows design ethos from the 1930s, accentuating fabric - sheer and delicate, print of monarch butterflies with embroidered bodies that give dimension and texture to the touch, and a subtle yet captivating visual interest when the dress interacts with light. Cut on the bias, for a fit that hangs and as much as it hugs curves in all of the right places.
