Perfect Party Frock 1950s
The party girl's dream dress! The sleeves are lined with tulle to keep them puffy! No need for a crinoline - the skirt is lined with a layer of sheer over tulle over satin over gauze WOW! The sheer is embossed with flocked pastel flowers. The crowning touch? Two delicate pink velvet bows at the shoulders.

Smart little dress from Korell. Lightweight, with a classic look. A pretty day dress perfect for the office or a Junior League fundraiser. Cinches nicely at the waist and boasts a flattering sailor collar. The perfect go-to dress.

Soft royal blue velvet dress
Sweet 1950s evening dress. Box pleats on the skirt not only give you a trim waist, it also gives you a lot of swing to your walk. A unique cowl neck gives the dress extra pizzazz!

Sweet Sandra Dee dinner dress
Late 50s lace over satin cocktail dress. A chanteuse's dream dress; the subtle ice aqua is perfectly juxtaposed by the black of the grand piano. Romantic and feminine, fit for an evening of wine, dinner and song.
