Molly Parnis achieved popularity through her conservative feminine flattering designs. They were available throughout department stores throughout the country. In 1966 her business grossed over 3 million dollars , being the first woman to do so. If you consider the fact that she has had little or no training in the fashion world, this is an attesment to her business sense. This dress was made her later years.

Just below the breast to hip area there is a band of black lace with a beige underlay and the lace is beaded with different sized rhinestones. Zips up the back just below the shower. There are two sets of hooks and eyes for peephole effect. Excellent condition. Measures: shoulders 14, sleeves 25, bust 36in, waist 26in, hips 38in, length 60, armhole 9.5.
