Fabric: Unknown
Origin: Unknown
Condition: Vintage, Pre-Owned. No stains, holes or tears. The rear nylon zipper closure is contemporary. The dress came to me without a zipper. Unsure if the original was removed or if the dress was an unfinished item. The inner acetate lining hemline is loosely tacked up, see stitching photos. It is still in place but will need some attention in the future. Only three loose threads were found within the embroidery stitching pattern, shown in the photos. The inner acetate lining on one armpit only has detached from its seam – see photo.

No stretch to the dress fabric. The outer fabric is thin, light, and opaque and patterned completely with intricate stitch embroidery patterning. Fully lined in white acetate.

The cut includes a High, boat-style neckline, short-length sleeves, and a wide, defined waistband panel that accentuates the fit and flare design. No crinoline in place and the skirt still gives significant volume.
