#V-678- David Crystal Grey Wool Dress with Full Pleated Skirt - $50.00

Era - 1950s
Measurements - Dress is 49 inches long, fits 37 inch bust, 29 waist, full hips
Label - David Crystal
Fabric - wool cloth
Cleaning - Dry cleaned

Medium heather grey wool dress with seamless short sleeves. Black velvet ribbon trims the neckline with a diamond cutout on the front and a bow on the back of the neck. The skirt is super full from crystal pleats. I don't have a crinoline under it because I didn't have one that looked right under the skirt. I think if you do use a crinoline it should be one that just gives a light lift without stretching out the pleats. Dress is unlined and it has a metal zipper down the back.

Condition - Very good condition. There is a 1/2 inch faint pink spot on the front-center of the bodice that didn't come out in cleaning. There is a 1/2 inch hole within the pleats on the front-center of the skirt which is not visable when the pleats are laying natural and not stretched out. It has also be restitchied along the front of the waist seam a few inches with a slight pucker at the one end of the stitching.
