Early 1950s cocktail dress "a five-thirty pm fashion" label


Costume designer and legend Edith Head would use the cut of her dresses to conceal any flaws in her leading ladies, making the most of their assets. This elegant and unusual shoulder line will highlight your arms and collarbone, generally the slimmest part of any lady and balance out the hips. Flattering. She knew what she was talking about.
