#DV-515- Blue Striped Chiffon Strapless Gown - $95.00

Era - 1950s

Label - none, appears to be handmade.
Fabric - nylon chiffon over acetate lining.

Pretty gown in stripes that are shades of blue, with acetate taffeta lining. Strapless, gathered boddice, wide fitted waist, super full skirt. Metal zipper down the back.

Condition - Very good to excellent condition. There are a few small scattered holes in the chiffon, none stand out as noticeable because of the fullness of the fabric. The seam under the bust on the front is a little crooked. The seams on the back of the bodice don't quite match up either. I don't think this will be anything too noticeable.
