Fitted black Chantilly floral lace skims a nude illusion under layer, creating the effect of lace laid directly on skin, while a nipped waist drops into a cascading handkerchief-tiered peplum of the same lace, its jagged points falling into a soft sheer nude chiffon skirt beneath. The high, close neckline and cap sleeves keep the silhouette demure up top, letting the sheer bodice and fluttering lace trails do all the seduction. A series of metal disc shaped weights are sewn into each point to keep the bodice firmly in place. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn early piece by one of our favorite designers -“Peggy Hunt, Original,” with original metal zipper up the back. The interplay of solid lace bodice against sheer, tiered skirt lace is a wonderful example of late-1940s cocktail dressing at its most theatrical — equal parts ladylike and vampish. In overall 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 \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\" \/ shoulder to waist: 15\"\u003cbr\u003ewaist: up to 26.5\"\u003cbr\u003eHips: open \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTotal length: 54”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits a small \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Peggy Hunt Original \u003cbr\u003eMaterial: satin, sequins, netting \u003cbr\u003eCondition:  overall excellent, freshly dry cleaned and ready to wear.
