    50s silhouette, I think DSCN7020.JPG - and that collar has double buttons at the throat to close it up all prim.

    Wow, that is pretty incredible! I think I'd call that rows of decorative horizontal blind tucks.

    I would edit Maggie's description very slightly to read multiple decorative rows of horizontal released tucks.

    Thanks, all - it's a decent size too - I had to significantly clip it and you can see my petite dress form doesn't "fill out" that classy bodice.

    Waiting for a non windy / non rainy day to get better pictures... good old black silk, LOL!
