ID: 1107237

Size: small

Condition: excellent

This is such a seductive and skillfully made structural look by the famous 'Old Hollywood' couturier, Philip Hulitar. Perfect for any upcoming event; you can't help but feel feminine in this beauty! "The star of a gifted designer has risen recently on the fashion horizon," The New York Times reported after Philip Hulitar opened his own firm in 1949 and I can definitely see why. This luxurious garment is fashioned in the highest quality silk velvet for the bodice and expertly draped light-weight silk for the skirting. The bodice has a unique asymmetric point which is mirrored in the points of the back tiered fishtail. The gorgeous three-dimensional skirt gathering giving this hourglass garment so much depth and texture. I love the curved nipped waist silhouette which is so figure flattering. A dramatic velvet-bow accented mermaid fishtail finishes this showstopper off with a perfect femme fatale vibe! The construction is so fresh and modern yet still has that perfect timeless quality.
