If you’re looking for a show stopper, this gown is for you I have never seen anything like it. The lovely cotton eyelet lace and rhinestones on the boned bodice is so elegant. The added asymmetrical peplum is so unique too The double layer of semi sheer- gauzy (possibly gauzy silk?) skirt adds such a delicate touch. The dress is just so whimsical and clearly expertly made. There is no tags in it to indicate who made this piece and given the estate I got it from, it was likely one of the many custom made gowns this woman owned. Zips up the side with a metal zipper. Best fits an XXS or XS. Model is modern size 4/6 and it would not zip up (its being held up to the best of my abilities in the photo and as such its fit looks somewhat loose). Model is also 5’5 and this dress is VERY long on her. You may be able to put a crinoline or smaller hoop underneath to puff it out, though I am not sure you can go too large unless you lay it over the innermost skirt.

Measurements :

Bust: 31 inches

Waist: 23/23. 5 inches

Hips: relatively open

Length (top of bust down): 59 inches

Good vintage condition - There is some very very minor overall greying which may either be the actual color of the fabric or my lighting - as I delicately washed it a number of times. There are still a few faint rust marks and stains remaining here and there (though they are much improved after a number of treatments). With all the skirt fabric they are noticeable when worn. Further faint markings on the hem of the inner skirt (so also not at all noticeable when worn). NO rhinestones appear to be missing or damaged. Lace is in good shape, with a few loose threads and just some of the edges bending down around the bodice (these could be stiffened). There is some minor rip to the inner tulle underneath the lace right by the zipper.

Please note, given the fabric this item will likely be somewhat wrinkled upon retrieval- please hang it up immediately.

This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Charlotte, Nc.
