1950s Fit and Flare Cocktail Dress Small

This 1950s party dress features a fully sequined and beaded bodice in a chevron pattern with iridescent sequins and silver-toned seed beads. The gathered chiffon skirt falls in a full, romantic silhouette over what appears to be a tulle and taffeta underlayer, hitting below the knee. This dress has no tags. Measured flat: bust 36", waist 27", length 42". This fits approximately a modern size S. Please compare measurements to a garment you own for best fit. Vintage condition with light wear consistent with age. The sequin bodice is intact with no noticeable missing beads or sequins. The chiffon skirt shows minor signs of age but remains in lovely wearable shape. The back closure with small clasp is functional.
