Features & Details

• Era: Authentic 1950s / early 1960s
• Length: Below-the-knee 
• Neckline & Trim: Flattering boat neckline accented with fine, delicate rose lace trim
• Sleeves: Graceful 3/4-length sleeves (easily customizable—can be altered or cut to a short or cap sleeve)
• Bodice: Fitted bodice featuring princess seams, making it simple for a tailor to adjust or fit your bustline
• Skirt: Voluminous, full swinging circle skirt crafted from chiffon backed with tulle, lined with a crisp acetate layer, and finished with an interior crinoline for natural body and pouf.
• Note on Volume: The gown is photographed here with an additional extra crinoline underneath for maximum drama. The dress already holds plenty of body and pouf on its own, so the extra petticoat is completely optional!
• Back Details: Sweet, subtle bustle detailing at the back
• Closure: Original metal zipper down the back

Alteration Potential:
Thanks to the generous seam allowance along the bodice's classic princess seams, this dress can easily be let out by a tailor to accommodate a 27" natural waist (or slightly more). Additionally, the 3/4-length sleeves can easily be cut down to a short or cap length if you prefer a different look.
Please Note: Vintage garments lack modern stretch. Compare these exact measurements against a well-fitting, non-stretch dress from your wardrobe to ensure a perfect match, or plan for minor professional tailoring.

Condition:
The dress is in very good clean condition, free from stains or odors

Tags:  There are no tags present in the dress, however, it is a factory made dress that has been taken in so perhaps the tags were removed during the alterations
