Description
Fashioned with ultra-feminine details and with a classic 1950’s “New Look” silhouette, this sensational Bunny’s Casuals of Miami dress is a marvelous example of first-rate effortless 50’s glamour. Designed to be dressed up or dressed down, this dress is perfect for a daytime event, wedding or a nighttime party. The dress is constructed of a splendid polished cotton with an allover richly hued floral print of striking flowers in varying shades of pink. As with polished cottons, there is a beautiful subtle sheen to the cotton fabric lending it a richness and depth of color when in different shades of light. The ruched shelf bust with its superb sweetheart halter neckline has 18 rhinestones scattered across its front. A fabulous full circle skirt and a matching fabric belt to flatter and accentuate the nipped-in hourglass waist complete this floral confection. This magnificent Bunny’s Casuals of Miami dress is captivatingly dramatic with its enchanting and flirtatious attitude and irresistible charisma and charm.
As the interior cloth tag indicates, Bunny’s Casuals was a mid-century fashion label based in Miami. In the 1950’s, the brand created classy garments perfect for South Florida living. Miami was a popular destination in the 1950s. Socialites, starlets and wealthy travelers both lived in and traveled to Miami. For stylish souvenirs and to commemorate their glamorous times while there, many purchased fine garments.
