This is just a stunning vibrant 50s party dress by designer Suzy Perette. The dress is made of a lush Hot Pink silk. It has a shelf-styled bust with a crumb catcher at the top. At the underbust there are two sweet little bows. The bodice is fitted and structured with boning for support. The skirt is heavily pleated and is very full having a bubble/tulip shape. The center of the skirt is flatter and has two pleats that meet there. Near the hem, there is a bow that matches the bows on the bodice. The dress is fully lined in a red acetate in some sections. The center panel and crumb catcher are stiffened with stiffener. The dress has a metal zipper up the back and fastens with a hook and eye at the top. The dress is labeled Suzy Perette and is marked a vintage size 10, which is more like a modern day 2-4. The dress has its own attached petticoat and is sewn into the dress fastening with a hook and eye at the waist.

Condition:

The dress is overall in great condition with only a few small flaws to note. There is a small patch repair to the left underarm. It is hard to see especially due to the location. There are also some very small black marks on the dress, the most noticeable is on the back of the zipper. The only other thing to note is that the dress has bled onto the white petticoat on the inside. The petticoat is sewn in and not at all seen. The dress has been professionally hand laundered and is ready to wear.
