VTG 1950’s Fit and Flare Faille Cocktail Dress with Shrug Designer Unknown

This treasure of a cocktail dress is ideal for the spring starlet. Giving us big-time Marilyn Monroe vibes, this approx. circa 1950’s cocktail dress seems to be a custom hand-made piece; an educated guess based on the lack of any labels and very specific measurements. The structure inside is still sound and is a beauty to behold with its neat containment of (likely) light plastic stays. Reinforcement interfacing is laid between the shell and lining of the dress to keep its stunningly pointed sweetheart neckline, giving the front and back bodice a leafy, fairy-esque look. Fabric is some sort of smooth faille, bias-cut, perhaps a polyester synthetic « silk feel ». Matching cardigan is cut from brushed cotton and lined with smooth, comfortable satin. Complete with wide circle skirt made to be filled out with fluffy crinolines in a classic 50’s party style. Bust: 30″Waist: 23″Hip Size: 47″ Shoulder – Hem: 40″Waist – Hem: 30.5″

The boned bodice is intricately constructed and hand made by a master costumer! a black silk interior is fully covered by Chantilly lace that hangs loosely over the front. But…it is the sleeves that MAKE this top. I’ve never seen such intricate detail or so many elements! These sleeves are the silk backed/lace combo for a 14 inch length ..but then an additional 13 inch sleeve « wrist extensions » were added that are beautifully made from silk netting, trimmed in velvet and finished then with another accent lace! They tie with velvet small ribbons Please review the pictures SIZE: Very Small. It measures a 12′ shoulder, 24′ waist and about 30′ bust. CONDITION: This beauty has very few flaws. There appears to be some very slight age toning around the neckline and perhaps? on the wrist velvet lace. If carefully inspected several small separations can be found in the lace that are both hard to find or see with the black silk backing. Overall in wonderful condition for both the materials and age. CARE: This garment is not brittle, however, please note that antique silks are extremely delicate and any rough handling could create damage. Garment should be gently re-shaped and perhaps stuffed for a while with either 100% white cotton fabric or acid-free tissue after storage/shipping.

There is a black netting overlaying the silk faille with little silk baubles hanging all over it, black lace trim on the cuffs with tiny silk buttons to close, black lace trim on the dagged-edge wide collar at back which also overlays the shoulders, and a lace ruffle along the high neck piece which wraps around to close in back.
