Description: Beautiful vintage evening or formal dress: - Strapless, sleeveless sexy retro Hollywood Glamour style - Sleek streamlined bodice or top that gently curves upwards in front for modesty with vertical stitch lines that meet up with diagonal breast darts for the perfect fitted look - Soft flexible boning strips or reinforcements on each side - Crazy full circle bias cut swing skirt portion on the bottom - I am 5' 8" tall and when I hold this up to my front it hits at my ankles or just below - very dramatic length - It has a current hem tucked under of about 1 1/8" - I assume a good quality seamstress / seamsperson could customize this easily if desired - Very fine iridescent shimmery topaz brown to black crisp lightweight fabric with highly interesting black stitched accents that lend to the overall tucked pattern - No tags or other hints at all to a maker or fabric content - entirely hand made / hand stitched and sewn * Ready and waiting for your formal, dance, party, event, special day, wardrobe, collection, and/or gift giving ESTIMATED AGE OR ERA = True original authentic antique / vintage piece. Broadly guessing late 1930's to very early 1950's based on fabric and cut - picture Audrey Hepburn with an elegant updo and opera gloves METAL AND/OR MATERIAL = Unmarked for fabric content - a crepe feeling type fancy taffeta or similar CLOSURE/CLASP = Side metal zipper of about 14" length including the top little hidden snap MARKS = None that I could find MEASUREMENTS = Approximatley .... Front middle - waist line to top of dress = 11"Back middle waist line to top of dress = 7.75" Waist - while laying flat measuring one side only = 13" - so double for circumferenceTotal front length from middle of the curved bodice to the bottom hem = 51"Same in back = 47"Side opening with zipper and snap = 14" long US RING SIZE = x WEIGHT = x CONDITION = Fantastic condition for the age - random very very minor pin point holes the size of a pencil tip can be spotted if held to the light and actively looking for flaws. There are few tiny scattered fray or wear type mars - some, if not all may even be original to the fabric or the garment. See last pic - and that is by far the worst of it. Considering the age - someone has treasured this very special dress and taken fantastic care of it. View & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina, and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged. I will do my best to note anything glaring or distracting. Please utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all. Pictures normally speak louder than words and individuals also interpret characteristics differently.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ: I reserve the right to cancel a transaction and refund your funds in full if shipments to your destination are not insurable and/or trackable. The shipping price I charge just covers the fees to ship your package out on my end. You most likely will have additional charges, customs fees, duties, taxes, etc from the delivery office in your region. It is your responsibility to check on these costs beforehand if it is of concern to you. I have no knowledge, control of, nor responsibility for paying those at all. Be advised that you may experience delivery/customs delays, package searches, or misc red tape issues that are entirely out of my jurisdiction. I pay additional insurance and fees on the postage funds I receive that will not be reflected/listed on your shipping tags. I ship via international priority mail to protect us both - please don't ask for a less expensive rate, as I won't ship any other way. I will not falsify, under value, or list contents as a gift on customs forms as that is both illegal and interferes with the proper insurance amount. What I can and will do is include any other purchases made at the same time with no additional added shipping cost to you - just pay a single fee and the rest ship for free. Makes it all seem a bit better if you can find a few things that make you smile and just have pay one flat rate to get them from me to you :) NO WORRIES - SMILE AND SHOP AWAY!
