Couldn't load pickup availability
Vintage late 1940's to early 1950's pale blue rayon taffeta dress with a satin damask diamond pattern throughout. The collar snaps behind the neck to give a high-drama look that pairs beautifully with an up-do. Fitted in the bodice with a nipped waist and huge sweeping skirt that falls just above the ankle. Side metal zip closure and brass/glass button closure up the center chest. Absolutely darling!

CONDITION
Very good: There are a few small holes above the hem in the skirt and a some marks from age. Very faint yellowing at the arm coi that is so faint I did not notice until under studio lighting.

A Note on Buying Vintage
A Note on Buying Vintage
This is an antique or early vintage garment made from delicate materials such as silk, fine cotton, lace, or early synthetics. These textiles may display signs consistent with age, which includes:
• natural fiber fatigue
• gentle thinning at stress points
• subtle irregularities inherent to early manufacturing
• age-related softness or patina
These qualities are authentic to historic garments and are considered part of their character, not defects, unless otherwise stated.
Notable flaws, such as excessive wear, stains, holes, or rips will always be photographed and disclosed in the condition notes.
