Description
Most of the Lilli Diamond dresses we have found over the years have been sexy and a little glitzy--fabulous and fun-to-wear cocktail attire. This royal blue wool jersey cocktail dress from the 1950s is certainly no exception, with its fitted, "wiggle" shape and the rhinestone and pearl beading that accents the sweetheart bodice, held up by skinny straps. Its lovely hourglass shape is created by the boning in taffeta lining of the bodice and lots of darts to fit the knit fabric to the body beautifully. The dress closes with a metal zipper in back and is fully lined. It is in very good condition with some fading to the lining fabric and a tiny spot on the right side of the bodice (see close-up photo).
