1950's Alix of Miami Crane Bird Novelty Applique Black Cotton One-Shoulder Dress

Stunning 1950's "Alix of Miami" designer femme fatale dress from the Old Hollywood era of glamour! The bodice has an alluring asymmetric one-shoulder design with heavily sculpted shelf-bust. The over-sized hand painted silk crane bird applique gives the garment so much appeal and interest. Just look at the sparkling rhinestones! The draped sarong wiggle-skirt construction, in divine polished cotton, emphasizes a woman's seductive shape without adding any bulk or volume to the actual hips. This is the type of dress celebrity vixens, like Marilyn Monroe, made infamous. A wonderful piece of wearable fashion history.
