#V-494- Red Ric-Rac Trimmed Patio Dress - $25.00

Era - 1960s
Measurements - 36 inches long, fits 34 inch bust, 24 to 26 inch elastic waist, full hips
Label - none
Fabric - cotton

Red pullover dress with elastic in the waist. It has ruc-rac and lace trim in white and silver around the neckline and around the full skirt. V-neck and seamless sleeves. To me this looks like a late 1940s to early 50s dress that someone has shortened and maybe added the elastic waist. Dress is shown with a crinoline under it, which is not included.

Condition - Very good to excellent condition. Has light wash-n-wear look to the color. Dress hass been shortened and could be let down about 2 inches.

#V-498- Sheer Pink and White Floral Long Dress - $45.00

Era - late 1940s to 1950s
Measurements - 51 inches long, fits 36 inch bust, 27 waist, 42 hips, 36 inch long skirt
Label - none
Fabric - creped woven nylon chiffon

Longer length dress that has kind of a Edwardrian style to it. It is a semi-sheer puckered nylon fabric that is white with medium pink flowers. There is an organdy collar handsticthed around the neck. The dress closes with hidden snaps down the front of the bodice and across the waist to the side. There are tiny decorative glass buttons down the bodice too. Full length sleeves with snaps on the cuffs. Full length skirt that is slight fuller around the bottom. Looks to be handmade. The fabric is def late 40s but I'm not sure if it was made from a 40s pattern or maybe and older pattern because of the way it opens down the front and across the waist. You will need a long slip under this.

Condition - Excellent condition, no flaws seen
