Is it correct to punctuate two consecutive possessives as follows Jim's wife's dress was beautiful?

Absolutely. This is one of those constructions that looks really strange, but it's correct. Jim has a wife, his wife has a dress, and you do need to show both possessive relationships by the use of both apostrophes.
