Mask-a-rave | Vintage 1950s 1960s Court neckline White Black striped dress

All lined up but not as straight-forward as you think ;) In this way, the lines on this pretty black/white monochrome 1950s/60s dress certainly reflects life, doesn't it? 

The lines up top follows the curve of the wearer, and then they flow down out out in arial-lines from the waist. And the full circle skirt gives it such an elegant sashay, especially with you walk ;)  

This has an elegant court neckline, with slight dip in the middle that shows off the collar-bones nicely. It is rather quite feminine, but the color palette keeps it quite in the middle too. 

Pinned?: No.
