50s Vintage Copper Bust Shelf Halter Full Skirt XXS Party Dress Details:
- changeable taffeta woven with a black or dark brown and bright orange to create an iridescent copper fabric that looks dark or lighter depending on the way the fabric is moved
- bust shelf with sweetheart bust line behind flared bust pleats 
- bias cut fabric on full skirt with two front skirt pleats
- side metal Conmar brand zipper topped with hook and eye, hook and eye at waist height as well
- boned bodice in front and back to hold dress up
- halter neckline is more for show as it pleats puffed slightly with boning holding dress up and in place
- crinoline used to photograph but not included in purchase
- originally had under bust jacket that the back of the halter top snapped onto to flare up from the jacket but jacket missing ( can include for $20 extra dollars but has underarm staining I have not treated yet)
- best for a size 0 or an XXS but please base purchase off of actual measurements

Condition:  Good 
- one or two small spots on front of skirt pointed to in image, other is a faint water mark extremely difficult to see
- taffeta fabric could use a professional pressing as it has some slight waves to it and bust pleats are not tight if you chose but will need wrinkles from shipping removed for sure as with most garments
- a few small picks to fabric weave - one shown on front of flared bust pleats
- wear to the bodice of dress where boning structure is behind it shown in images
- two snaps on back of halter as previously mentioned that could be removed
- overall, presents incredibly in person
- clean, ready to wear
