I really like the look of this gown - olive green velvet top with cut-in shoulders. Long ivory brocade skirt, has tulle layer underneath to give it a bit of a puff at hips. Two velvet tails hang down the back. This was too small for my mannequin, so it is gapping open in the back view photo.

Condition - Excellent condition, no flaws seen.

#DV-353- Brocade Dress w/gathers & fantails - $60.00

Era - 1950s
Measurements - 46 inches long, fits 32 inc bust, 25 waist, 36 hips
Label - none
Fabric - rayon brocade

Very uniquely designed dress that is a brown and silver brocade. There's alot going on on this dress, so let's see if I can explain it all clearly. The neckline has a big floppy collar that can be worn pulled down low or up higher towards the neckline. The sleeves are short and puffy with scalloped piecing around the middle, fitted at the bottoms. The bust has a diagonal seam across it with tiny gathers. There are folds of fabric around the front and the back of the waist. The skirt is long and straight with a high slit up the back with a piece of fabric under the slit. On one side of the skirt is an attached piece of pleated fabric that hangs down the side (see last photo) On the other side of the skirt are two shorter fantail pleated pieces of fabric, one overlapping over the other. The dress is very nicely made with weights on the inside. Unlined with metal zipper on the back.

Condition - Very good condition. There is a hint of light fade on the tops of the sleeves. This isn't too bad because the fabric has kind of an irredescence in light anyway.
