An incredibly chic and totally timeless Traina-Norell designer ivory silk satin full-skirted cocktail dress dating back to the mid 1950's. This exquisite Traina-Norell museum quality dress exemplifies their signature blend of couture-level quality with quintessential American style— elegant in it's simplicity. The gorgeous garment is fashioned from luxorious mid-weight creamy white silk satin which feels like heaven against the skin. The beautiful bodice has tailored 3/4-length sleeves and matching lace-overlay buttons. The flattering nipped waist full skirted design finishes this garment off with a perfect "new look" silhouette. As pointed out in the book "Couture: The Great Designers", Norell had a profound influence on the ready-to-wear industry and on younger American designers by insisting that off-the-rack clothing be as fine as made-to-order. The masterful construction and superb quality of this garment more than meets his exacting standards. Would make a divine red carpet look or beautiful bridal moment!
