Fabulous early 1950s (1949, 1950 or '51) ball gown in lilac tulle over silk taffeta. Gorgeous beading and sequin embellishments on the bodice and skirt. Boned bodice. Side metal zipper. Skinny spaghetti straps. Full skirt shown with extra petticoat which is included. Skirt comprised of two layers of the fine, soft tulle. Comes with a tulle shawl. Made by Miss America. Good condition. I noted a tear on the inner netting of the skirt, and other small holes in the same netting. One small hole in the outer layer of tulle on the skirt a half inch from the bottom.
I comes with a leather-backed skinny lilac colored fabric belt that I neglected to photograpgh.
