LAVENDER COCKTAIL OR PARTY DRESS SIZE 12-14, VINTAGE 50'S-60'S ORIGINAL

Jan from Nelson South

LAVENDER COCKTAIL OR PARTY DRESS SIZE 12-14, VINTAGE 50'S-60'S ORIGINAL

Very good condition.
Beautifully made, the neck detail in particular isn't seen today. Tiny hem. Room for a crinoline underneath if a full skirt is desired.
I have kept it for decades hoping to fit back into it again. No such luck of course.
Fabric all man made, the fabric rustles when moved. Does that sound like taffeta to you? The white neck detail is very fine sheer gauze. I don't know what either of the fabrics are called.
Lined upper bodice.
Metal zip at back.

Measurements [as best as I can manage.]:
Armholes 46cm circumference.
Waist 88cm circumference.
Back between base of armpits 48cm
Front between base of armpits 52cm
Skirt 72cm long.
Zip neck to waist 42cm. Zip itself is much longer.
Label says 16, but it is very definitely smaller than that. [unreadable maker]

Pick up from central Nelson, at the top of Collingwood St.

Price: $65
