Magnin \u0026amp; Co., the venerable San Francisco specialty retailer known for importing and commissioning fine European- garments for its American clientele. This gorgeous early 50's dress is made in a dove-grey silk taffeta with a soft, dry rustle, the strapless bodice features a gently gathered\/shirred  band above a smooth, fitted midriff, dropping to a voluminous full skirt. The skirt is the dress’s showpiece: banded in tiers of intricate smocking\/shirring worked in a chevron pattern, each tier separated by soft gathered taffeta, building to a dramatic circle hem. The matching jacket has a flyaway, flounced silhouette with a folded collar and elbow-length flutter sleeves, each cuffed in the same chevron-smocked banding as the skirt — tying the two pieces together. Fully boned bodice construction and hand-finished interior seams are consistent with the quality expected of an I. Magnin import piece. Zips up the side with original metal zipper and in excellent condition. Freshly cleaned and ready to wear. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✂️ M E A S U R E M E N T S\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBust: up to 34” \u003cbr\u003eWaist: up to 25.5\"\u003cbr\u003eHips: open\u003cbr\u003eTotal Length: 46”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits a small \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: I.Magnin \u003cbr\u003eMaterial: 100% silk \u003cbr\u003eCondition: overall excellent, freshly cleaned and ready to wear.
