👋 A B O U T

Midnight garden drama in pure 1950s form. This cocktail dress commands attention in black taffeta printed with oversized cabbage roses in deep claret, burgundy, and forest green — a moody, painterly palette that reads almost like a Old Master still life brought to life in fabric. The structured bodice is impeccably defined, with a square-cut neckline interrupted by a narrow central notch — a subtle but sophisticated detail. The defining feature is the exaggerated peplum: pleated at the waist, it erupts into a sweeping bell that curves dramatically at the sides before releasing into a slim pencil skirt beneath — a silhouette that is equal parts theatrics and couture restraint. Center back zip. Fully lined interior. A true showstopper! In overall excellent condition, freshly dry cleaned and ready to wear.
