1950s Hattie Carnegie Violet Lace Party Dress

.. This a fun and fabulous little Hattie creation of deep violet blue lace over silk taffeta. The bodice has a lovely scrunched tulle at the neck, and silk ribbons over the shoulders. The waist is accented with a matching lace belt. The skirting is voluminous, the layer of lace over 3 layer of tulle, over a laver or taffeta, stiffened at the hem with a band of nylon "horsehair" trim
