1950s Bullock’s silk faille dress (repair project)

Description

Beautiful high-end 1950s Bullock’s black silk faille dress with a pink silk satin neckline and fine black lace and velvet trim. Hidden slit front pockets. Side metal zipper. Bodice is unlined, skirt is lined in netting.

label: Bullock’s Pasadena (high-end boutique)

condition: Sadly the right underarm is ripped (see photos). The fabric is still good and can be patched and/or interfaced. Several pulls on front skirt in one area, a couple on left hip. Pink satin has a tiny fray on left side of neckline and fabric is a little dingy along edges/discolored – dry cleaning should help. Selling as-is.
