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″

Outstanding Victorian Top Bodice completly covered with Chantilly Lace

Just Gorgeous with OUTSTANDING SLEEVES! Bishop Sleeve -Leg-A-Mutton Sleeve Top/Waist – FULL CHANTILLY LACE OVER SILK! Fabrics in the beautiful garment include: chantilly lace; a fine black silk; a sturdier, medium weight faille type black silk; silk (?) netting, velvet ribbon trim and an applied lace. 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. Acquired in a true Victorian/Edwardian estate and guaranteed of the period. For your reference please see the last picture of watered silk ribbon found in with other textiles and wound on part of a 1873 bank advertising card. Additionally (sold last year), were writing paper backed crazy quilt squares that showed dates in the 1860’s. Many pieces of sterling silver flatware bore engraving dates in the 1850’s. This family lived in the Cincinnati area from about 1850-1925. All of our antique fabrics are unlaundered.

Someone has affixed a vintage silk rose to the jacket which, while romantic looking, is not quite to period but I wasn’t sure how to remove it without damaging the jacket which is in VERY good condition other than a hidden one inch tear to the interior silk where the hooks and eyes are.I cannot accept returns on antique items so please ask any questions prior to purchase and view all photos as well as reading the complete description, thanks.
