What you?ll love about this: This exquisite early 1950s cheongsam-style wiggle dress captures the elegance of the post-Korean War era, when Asian-inspired silhouettes were the height of Hollywood chic.

Its sleek hourglass cut celebrates mid-century femininity ? demure yet utterly figure-flattering. Condition: Good vintage condition.
