Glamour Girl Dress

Misses Sizes 6-16

Glamour oozed in Hollywood in the 1930's and 1940's, and this is the daytime dress the starlets wore.  It emphasizes curves, drapes elegantly, and lends an air of discreet sexiness.  The close fitting bodice is visually cinched in with front waistline ties, and fits smoothly into a flared skirt.  Shoulder pads lend that commanding air to any aspiring celebrity.
