Help..what is the style of this 50\'s dress?

I am having a brain block tonight I have a couple dresses to list and am absolutely stuck! What style would you call this...and is there a name for that rolled collar treatment?

Also the first thing I thought about the fabric design was "houndstooth"....it is sort of like a damask..any ideas?

Yes that's houndstooth and what a beautiful champagne color! Looking up you collar treatment.... hmmmm. After reading it seems it would be just called a rolled collar or perhaps a turnover collar (any collar whick rolls and then turns over).

It's beautiful!

 

Thanks it is gorgeous..it just shimmers!

 

That silhouette reminds me of the New Look. Early 50's? Lovely dress Queenie!

 

I'm thinking early to mid-50s too. At first glance I was thinking
princess styling, however I don't think I actually see the seaming running down from the bodice to the skirt and the skirt is not gored is it?

Susan it is lovely regardless!
