Genie Sparkles | Vintage 1950s EMbroidered and beaded Shift Wiggle Dress
This vintage 1950s shift (or perhaps wiggle if you have the curves ;) dress is elegant and sexy, subtle yet sparkly at the same time.
The shiny beads hand-sewn on glimmer in the light, just a very slight shimmer. Opaque long beads form a star shape and the white embroidery just lifts the light blue colour ever so slightly.
Loving the silhouette!
Closes with a zip at the back. And it has a lovely V-back.
Metal zipper!
