vintage 1950's dress ...classic Suzy Perette black velvet and matte cocktail party dress
true vintage 1950's Suzy Perette cocktail party dress with extraordinary design details throughout...
The Suzy Perette silhouette of cinched waist and full skirt were extremely popular in the early fifties and a quality interpretation of Dior’s famous “new look.” Sidney Blauner, whose manhattan firm turned out the Suzy Perette label, acquired the right to incorporate Dior’s notions in their designs- and this dress is a fabulous example!
