50s Dress Nylon Jersey Print Rhinestone Buttons 60s Vintage Women's L/XL VFG Lane Bryant
A pretty flowing vintage dress in a rare large size! Bodice fitted with darts, and styled with a pointed collar with a soft faux “tie” at the bottom of the veeneck. Three quarter length sleeves that gather slightly into a narrow cuff. An interesting waistline that drops to a shallow vee at the base of both vertical darts in front. The swingy seven gore skirt has a 2" hem. The dress is shown in most photos pinned to fit the mannequin – the white belt is not included with purchase.

TAG: Lane Bryant
CLOSURES: Four small clear plastic buttons down the front of the bodice – each button has a large rhinestone embedded in the center. A short placket at the waist closes with snaps.
CONDITION: I see a single small hole near the cuff of the right sleeve – hard to spot due to the busy print. It looks like a former owner shortened the sleeves by taking a 2" tuck above the elbow – it was carefully done and doesn’t detract, so I have not changed it back.
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.
