Measures

  • Bust: 36
  • Waist: 28
  • Hip: free
  • Shoulder to Waistline: 16
  • Waist to Hem: 43
  • Lower Width: 140

Condition: What a terrific gown of lightweight salmon pink satin with netting on the shoulders, tons of buttons up the back, and a gathered poof over the arms and bustline. Dropped waist and full gathered skirt. Appears home sewn. This came from the estate of two twin sisters, and they were clothes horses! I'd venture that this dress was worn to a formal prom like dance. The dress has super light wear under the arms, and the netting is a bit discolored from being in storage for well over 60 years. Mind you the dress and netting is hole and pull free, and with a little dry cleaning will be ready to wear. Don't let this unique beauty pass you by.
