Emma Domb Red Bib Front Ballerina Party Dress with Satin Cummerbund – S, 1950s
About the Item
A balance of masculine and feminine, this frothy party dress pairs tuxedo references like bib pleating and a wide cummerbund with an undeniably ladylike silhouette complete with a 25-foot sweep. A guaranteed head-turner for the woman seeking feminine but not girly, right down to the fire engine red hue.

Heavily gathered full skirt with crinoline and inner slip underneath; wide plain satin cummerbund with criss-cross detail at back.
