A cocktail dress that stands apart not only for its nude hue but also for its architectural silhouette, this piece radiates mid-century chic. It reminds us of vintage beauty parlor dome hairdryers and Gaultier cone bras in equal measure.
Sleeveless lace wiggle dress with tiered hobble skirt and spaghetti straps. Front bodice princess seams and bust darts; side metal zipper closure with top hook and eye. Fully lined in matching acetate.
