1950s Pleated Pumpkin Pie Spice hotsell Gown

This deep orange beauty is pleated pumpkin perfection. The lush satin fabric shimmers like the smooth surface of an October pumpkin. It is folded into hundreds of intricate hotsell pleats that caress the bodice and cascade from the draped and ruched waist, fitted with light boning. The stiff pleats add stability and textural contrast to the full circle skirt of smooth satin that culminates at the mid-calf. Wear this stunning gown as a celebration of Autumn's evocative hues.... while eating a slice of pumpkin pie, of course.
