A B O U T 

A rare and romantic example of 1950s cocktail elegance by Peggy Hunt, this exquisite dress captures the sculpted femininity and textural richness that defined the era.

Rendered in sensual topaz lace layered over a nude illusion netting, the interplay of color creates remarkable depth—allowing the intricate lace pattern to appear as though it floats against the skin. The bodice is crowned by an accordion-pleated off-the-shoulder neckline, softly framing the décolletage with architectural precision while lending a subtle sense of movement and lightness.

The waistline gives way to a dramatically full skirt, artfully constructed with pick-ups that create sculptural dimension and volume. Beneath, gathered tulle adds buoyancy and body, enhancing the silhouette’s classic mid-century hourglass shape. The result is both playful and refined—perfectly suited to cocktail soirées or special occasions. The dress is fully lined and zips up the back with original metal zipper. In overall excellent condition, freshly dry cleaned and ready to wear.
