Vintage Chartreuse Lace Evening Gown/Prom Dress



This gorgeous gown is in excellent shape. It appears this gown was custom tailored as there are no manufacturer labels. It is a solid well constructed garment with no rips or tears.

Details as follows:
- Taffeta and lace construction with princess seams.
- Scoop collar.
- Cap sleeves.
- Sequined waist band with applique and rhinestones.
- Hook and eye closure on zippered back.
- 50's/early 60s style skirt.
Measurements:
- 19" across bust (from armpit seam to armpit seam).
- 14.5" across waist.
- 36.5" skirt length from waist.
Notes: This dress fits me well and comfortably. It is designed in a flattering silhouette that works great on all figures. For example: I am extremely pear-shaped with a size 5-7 top (depending on cut) and a size 10 pant. My bust is a 34. The dress makes me feel so glamorous as the design makes me look balanced and curvy. This item is vintage and may require dry cleaning.

Vintage Late 50s Gold Drape Dress - Fixer Upper



Etsy here

While this dress is extremely flattering on, it does need work. The fabric is good, no holes or tears but stitching along the collar and hem are shot. The final image in this series is the dress turned inside out to show collar.

If you've got an afternoon and some gold thread you can tack the collar, the hem and a few seams with a quick whip stitch and you're good to go.

There are subtle water stains from a steamer that I believe will disappear after dry cleaning (see image 3 and 4). I feel these are unnoticeable if you're planning a candelit dinner at a fine restaurant the night you receive this in the mail and want to wear it.

These falls are very light and comfortable to wear. They will not pull on your scalp like a synthetic hair piece. They'll keep you warm on a cold playa night at Burning Man because it's almost like wearing a hat and a scarf at the same time. But they also breathe, so it's not like you're going to die from heat stroke. I've worn them in the middle of an August day in the Black Rock Desert with ease and comfort.

I have excellent feedback on Etsy. 100% positive!
