FABULOUS 50's FULL SKIRT DRESS!!!
Fabulous 1950's classic New Look party dress! Made of a crisp black taffeta type fabric with a subtle sheen (I believe it is faille). It has a subtle floral pattern print. It has a fitted bodice, shelf bust with a panel of gathered ivory net peeking out, and a crisp bow under the bust! Gorgeous V-shaped strap placement in back. There is a layer of netting sewn in, so skirt has built in fullness. You can exaggerate the fullness by adding a crinoline as seen in the photos below. (crinoline not included)
Label: Lorrie Deb
Very good vintage condition with a few minor flaws. No holes or stains. I'll start by saying that all the flaws are minor - dress looks awesome and in great condition. The floral print looks like some of the flowers had a flocked velvet surface at one time - most of this has worn down and you can just see subtle hints of the velvet now, and there are some areas of the flowers that are slightly lighter than the rest - it is super minor and does not detract (especially in evening lighting - you'll never notice it) The ivory netting at the bust is lightly yellowed - I have not tried to fix it - it is not a big deal and probably just fine as is. It looks like there were a couple minor alterations: The straps have been shortened (they can be extended a couple of inches, but the buttonholes will show in front - it looks like originally the straps buttoned inside the bust). Also, there is a minor seam on the side of each bust that does not appear to be original - it looks like a little pleat. There is minor whitish deoderant residue under the arms - super minor and not very noticeable.
Dress seems to fit closest to a M. This dress was meant to be worn with the appropriate period undergarments, thus the larger bust/smaller waist proportion. Please go by measurements below:
