A gorgeous vintage 1950s evening dress, with that yummy taffeta "swish" when you swirl and sway! Perfect for a winter formal dance. Boned princess seamed bodice with spaghetti straps, enhanced with a foldover band of soft velvet around the neckline. Flaring two gored inner skirt with an outer skirt of the same material that curves up from the hemline on either side to meet at the front center waist.

FABRIC/COLORS: Crisp medium weight taffeta in midnight blue. Matching velvet trim feels like rayon.
TAGS: The only label I find is a pasteboard one at the base of the zipper - it says K.S.&G., and then model and style numbers.
CLOSURES: Side seam metal zipper
CONDITION: No stains, holes, tears, or other issues noted. The dress is shown with a crinoline underneath that is not included with purchase.
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.
