50s Pink Dress Lace Trim Wedding Guest Women's Vintage Shannon Rodgers Medium VFG
Lovely dress, beautiful color, and not-tiny size! Deep squared neckline, sheath styling with unique skirt design featuring two soft "faux" pleats on the front that create some softness at the waist. They are are sewn onto a lining panel inside so the actual fit is more like a straight skirt, creating more of a wiggle effect with movement. Large appliques of delicate lace on the front of the bodice and skirt.

FABRIC/COLORS: A gorgeous shade of shell pink, very flattering for most skin tones. I believe that it's a slubbed silk, based on a fiber burn test and the look and feel. Pink lining is lightweight and also seems to be silk.
TAGS: Designed by Shannon Rodgers
CLOSURES: Metal zipper down the back
CONDITION: There is a small faint bluish gray stain left bodice front near waist - see closeup. Two other issues, not seen when worn: a 1.5 x 2" stain on the back of the skirt lining only, does not go through to the fabric of the skirt itself - see closeup. Also, light underarm watermarking noted on the lining that are not visible from the outside.
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
