A B O U T

Sweep into the room in this breathtaking 1950s Fred Perlberg Dance Original evening gown—an undeniable showstopper crafted in luminous crimson taffeta that catches the light with every movement.

Known for designing dresses that moved beautifully on the dance floor, Perlberg created some of the era’s most glamorous cocktail and evening silhouettes, and this piece is a shining example of his signature drama. The bodice features a sculpted sweetheart neckline with delicate shirring that flatters and defines the bust. Slim lingerie straps offer graceful support while preserving an utterly romantic, bare-shouldered line. The bodice is fully boned allowing the gown to be worn strapless as well.

The gown nips into a wasp-waist through expertly ruched seams, then floats into a full, sweeping skirt that glides effortlessly. A cascading layered peplum at the back—one of the most enchanting features—adds volume, movement, and classic mid-century allure. The effect is pure Old Hollywood: elegant, feminine, and made for an unforgettable entrance. In excellent condition, freshly dry cleaned and ready to wear.
