This beautifully designed 1950s style dress by Keepers Dolly Duds looks just as great visiting near the punch bowl as it does on the dance floor. The dress features full-circle skirting, a wide boat neck collar, and notched sleeves. The dress is designed to fasten up the back with five buttons, but snaps or hook and loop tape could certainly be used instead. The simple bows and curved trim details give this special occasion dress just enough charm to make it perfect for a local sock-hop!
