An elegant classic with exceptional workmanship, direct from the closet of a renowned international Palm Beach socialite.  The curve enhancing fitted silhouette defines the sexy wiggle dress of the 1950s.  When the styling and workmanship are this elegant, the dress is a perfect choice for now and forever.   The illusion sleeves and upper back bodice are made from narrow cords of the douppioni silk, twisted into a soutache coiled geometric pattern.  The douppioni silk is used to create both shantung and douppioni fabrics.  The elegant fabric is woven with slubbed yarns that may resemble a fine denier Thai silk.  This beautiful vintage LBD will be in the ETSY shop, soon to be enroute to a new home.  The photo is linked to the item in the ETSY shop.
