Rare & Beautiful 1950s Philip Hulitar Couture Dress w Fused Velvet Roses on a Rich Ivory Silk designer-bill-tice More embellishments follow the curve

More embellishments follow the curve of the skirt

The back is very full and trails behind as it is very long at the back

If you chose to wear it without any crinoline you would still get a lot of volume and movement

I love the dramatic panel of sequin and gold that runs down the front and back and how the front plunges for a bit of skin to show

Prior to launching his own label, Mr Hulitar was the in house designer and head of the women's dress division
