vintage 1950s Pleated Party Dress:
Slate Blue Grey strapless Cocktail Prom Dress
Fabric is sheer, probably polyester or nylon.
Color story is interesting: Fabric is a combination of slate blue and grey, with an off white lining. The bodice is one layer of fabric and looks more grey, while the skirt is pleated making it look more blue, due to the layers of fabric against each other.
Fitted bodice with shelf bust. Ruched and pleated bust to add drama to the front.
Wide waist band.
Strapless and back metal zipper.
Skirt is 3 layers; attached net slip, acetate lining and sheer outer.
Long matching sash is wide enough to wrap the shoulders if you choose.
Fully lined.
Excellent condition.

No stretch
34 bust
