1950s Mae E. Perry, Lilac Fit'n Flare, Silk Bubble Dress, Cocktail Dress

1950s Lilac Silk Bubble Dress, Fit'n Flare with Shawl Collar
Materials: 100% Silk
Brand / Maker: Fashions by Mae & Perry of Brooklyn, NY
Era: 1950s

Insane Floral Silk Bubble Dress from the 1950s! This dress is so unique and fabulous its hard to find words to describe. Made of 100% Silk Lavender, Lilac and Periwinkle watercolor floral fabric - it feels like luxury. Buttons and snaps secure the front closures, and the wide shawl collar is draped to be a built-in shrug. The poof skirt could be enhanced (enlarged) by adding crinoline for an even more prominent bubble effect. The wide base hem brings the whole look together and tapers the silhouette back to emphasize your knees and lower leg.

Modelled after Yves Saint Laurent's iconic bubble dress of the 1950s or Christian Dior's early 50s Bubble Cocktail concoctions, this dress will stand out at any event.
