Here Kitty Kitty - 1960's style jeweled cocktail dress - Women's size 1

Description

Make a major cocktail splash with this tropical drink! One part baby leopard print. (Yes, the actual baby leopard printed on fabric.) Mix with two parts lush Hawaiian print in finished pima cotton, spiked with orange hibiscus. Garnish with a super amazing and handmade, vintage button lariat. A simple shift becomes exotic and bold.

Sitting atop the leopard print, a bias cut yoke crowns the front in yummy tropical floral. Shaping droops and slacks somewhat, while retaining a boatneck line at the collar bone. The lush Hawaiian print pulls colors from the leopard and brightens the dress all around. The back closes with an invisible zipper. The interior is fully lined in thick, golden, matte satin, giving the piece a substantial weight and drape.

But the piece de resistance is the custom made necklace, by stelmadesigns.etsy.com. With a melange of vintage buttons, multicolored and mixed sizes, this lariat style button strand stands out in grand form. Around the back of the neck, varieties such as bakelite, molded plastic, and walnut shell reveal charming similarity to the tropical print. Although obscured under the front yoke for a little peek a boo, the strand reappears through a bound button hole to rope down the front, teasing the leopard. Bone, wood, and glass buttons stack and delight and can be worn independent of the dress. A leather fastening thong will be included for such a purpose.

Made for the slim figure, measuring 31 inches in the bust, 24 inches in the waist and 33 inches in the hip. The dress is 39 1/2 inches long and requires dry cleaning.
