Description

Beautiful 1940s black lace and dark blue taffeta full length evening gown. The lace covers both the bodice and upper hip, and drapes across the shoulders. Ruching down the front chest. Comes with the original belt. Side metal zipper. Unlined. More photos coming soon.

label: professionally made.

condition: selling as-is, but the dress is wearable and only needs small repairs to the lace. The lace along the shoulders appears sturdy, but it has breaks and a tear on each side in the same spot. The main condition issue is the fading along the hem, which, as you see, creates an ombre effect – the fabric going from it’s original dark blue color to a purple along the hem. It’s not blatantly noticeable and if shortened, may not be noticeable at all. Found one tiny pinhole on the front skirt, not noticeable. Some of the hem is loose. The belt is discolored (purplish) and the lace on the buckle was worn and was removed. This is a beautiful dress and definitely worth the repairing the lace.
