Stunning vintage 1940's fuschia crepe gown with loads of beading and rhinestones.

This has a v-necklined, edged with a band of clear and white beads. The beading continues down the front of the midriff, almost like a necklace, with a big rhinestone studded "pendant" between the breasts.

Gathers on either side of the "pendant" give this fullness in the bust. The waist is tapered and the skirt has some sweep around the legs, but it's slimfitting against the upper hips.

The sleeves are 3/4 length with darting near the cuffs for a close fit.

The dress closes up the side of the waist with a metal zipper and it is not lined.

There are some condition issues with this dress (see below) but these 40's beaded dresses are getting so hard to find, and this is in a good, wearable size. I hope that can work for someone!

Fair - there is a bleached spot on the sleeve (see photo), three holes on the side of the dress near the waist (see two below - the other is on the front and approximately the same size). There are two 1/16" holes on the front over the left breast - perhaps from a corsage, about 10 holes in the skirt, most at the hem - the largest is 1/2" (the others are only about 1/8"), about 2" of seams need to be resewn, several beads are loose/missing, and there is no belt.

Please note that due to variations in monitors, browsers, and gamma settings, the "real life" color of the item may not be truly represented on your computer.

My drycleaner makes me cry, so I leave the process to my buyers, who I hope have access to more skilled cleaners than I do.

The best way to determine whether piece will fit is to measure a similar piece of clothing from your wardrobe and compare the sizes.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS - the actual cost of shipping is often less than the amount computed by ebay. Please contact me if you'd like the exact amount.
