Late 1950s Tangerine Mustard Ruched Halter Ballgown

A radiant example of late 1950s evening glamour, this tangerine–mustard halter ballgown glows with the warm, luminous sheen characteristic of mid-century specialty silks and satins. The bodice features expertly ruched detailing that contours the waist and bust, flowing into a sweeping full skirt that moves with exceptional fluidity and light.

Structural interior boning shapes the torso with classic 1950s precision, while the deep halter neckline adds a touch of modern allure. A side zipper closure maintains the clean, uninterrupted lines of the silhouette. The gown remains beautifully wearable, with one small tear at the front left hem, subtle and consistent with age.

A striking and romantic mid-century evening gown—vibrant, sculptural, and unmistakably cinematic.
