1950s Vintage Red Cotton White Painted Flower Fit Top Full Skirt Dress XS Jr

Actual Measurements Bust 32 inches. Waist 22 inches Hips are full Total length 40 inches Outside shoulder to waist 14.5 inches. This is shorter than normal To make sure something will fit, take measurements from a piece of clothing that fits you well and use those measurements to compare. If you use your personal actual measurements, you should always figure needing two inches extra for breathing room. I show this dress with and without a crinoline. The crinoline is not included. The belt is included. Label- A unreadable tag at the back neck. A union made label on the skirt Closes with back metal zipper Fabric is a medium weight cotton. It has hand painted flowers. This dress is unlined. I show this dress with a red patent belt. It is not original, but it is included. ConditionThis dress is clean, with no holes or tears. It does have a few issues. The dress fit my mannequin tightly and you can see the zipper has some stress pulling from the dress fitting tightly on a previous owner. You can see when the dress is not being pulled tightly, that the zipper stress pull is not visible. The belt as well covers this area. The zipper had been messed with. It had been taken in and then let back out. It left some seam remainder lines that I show in a photo. The dress has also been shortened. The original hem has been turned up and hand sewn. You can see in the photo, the original factory sewn hem and the hand sewing. You could put this dress back to its original length by removing the hand sewn thread. But, there would be a seam remainder line that would not be ironed out. I show a close up of the hand painted flowers. There is a very little bit of paint loss on some of the flowers, as shown in photo. What Diane Likes About This DressThis is a fun and fanciful dress that does not take itself to seriously. It is a stylish dress, but still down to earth. It has a classic 1950s, full skirt and fitted top design. It is those hand painted flowers that give the dress a lot of interest. They give it a very romantic and artistic feeling. I like this dress for the Holidays, but it can easily hold its own all year round. « When in doubt, wear red. » Bill Blass « The joy of dressing is an art. » John Galliano This dress weighs just over 1 pound after packing. A flat rate envelope is the most cost effective method for shipping. I am always happy to combine shipping. I have a large amount of vintage clothing and am always adding new pieces.

Vintage 30s 40s Sunset Ombre Tiered Full Skirt Long Dress XS Prom Formal VFG

DETAILS: A lovely late 30s early 40s formal dress, so young and fresh! Princess seamed bodice with soft sweetheart neckline accented by a self fabric fold across the top of the bust and a soft bow. Short puffed sleeves have two tiers for extra oomph. The waist is fitted with slightly dropped waist seaming that dips in a vee in front. Incredible multi-tiered skirt that is more than a full circle – the color change offers a hint of drama to offset the overall sweetness, and the skirt will move beautifully for dancing. SIZE: No size label Measurements – Inches Centimeters Bust – 32″ 81.25 Waist – 25″ 63.5 Hips – Free Free Bodice length – 15″ 38 Skirt length – 41″ 104 Sweep – 135″ 343 FABRIC/COLORS: Crisp medium weight taffeta faille in three sunset shades that look great together. The top is butter yellow, the middle goldenrod, and the bottom salmon tinged with apricot. The colors are clear but soft, if that makes sense. Most of the photos show the bodice more tan than it is in real life and show the skirt bottom as rosy pink, which it is not. The most accurate colors on my monitor are shown in the photo on the dark skinned mannequin and the one showing the full circle skirt. TAGS: No tags CLOSURES: Sideseam metal zipper CONDITION: A few faint spots on the back of the bodice and very minor seam stress there – see close-up. Some subtle color variations in the skirt that are not noticeable with the volume and the three tiered color progression.
