1950s Silk Brocade Roses Rhinestone Party Dress

This is a really special piece.  A heavy damask silk brocade gives incredible structure to this dress, and it's truly immaculate.  It looks like it was rarely, if ever, worn.  

The brocade is a delicate rose print with a subtle sheen and the notched neckline is embellished with dozens of very high quality rhinestone diamantés.  It has a grown on cap sleeve with a notch and a metal lapped zip side fastening.  The skirt is full enough to accommodate a petticoat for extra fullness. Very rare to find a dress this good in this size!
