Light pink rayon taffeta gown with puffed sleeves. Ruffled fabric around the neck and over the shoulders. The puffed sleeves have trapunto cording. Fabric belt with fancy silver metal buckle with rhinestones. Smooth over the hips and thighs with the skirt becoming fuller around the bottom. There are trapunto cord around the lower half of the skirt. The dress is unlined and it has snaps on the side opening.
CONDITION: The dress is in very good condition with some issues. The sleeves need a much better steaming than I was able to give them. One sleeve has 6 small 1/8 inch holes near the end. The other sleeve has 4 small holes.
The front of the neck has several tiny pin holes, probably from a brooch being worn there. There are two 1/8 inch holes on the bodice and a few more scattered on the skirt. There are two 1/2 inch holes on the side of the skirt, midway down. A few faint, tiny brown spots.
