1940's Style White-On-White

This gown is so simple, yet so elegant. The material is a beautiful
cream floral design. The gown has a cross over bodice which creates
a "V" neckline. The bodice is fitted and the sleeves are short and
puffed. The gown has a fitted waistline with a small peplum which
attaches to the waistline. A wide belt is included with the size
5/6; however the belt is missing on the size 11/12. The skirt is
straight with a slit at the center back. The gown is new/old stock.
The inside label reads, "Lola Berent for Superstition, Made in USA"
"Dry Clean Only". This gown is available in Size 5/6 and Size
11/12. Measurements are as follows: Size 5/6 - bustline=33";
waistline=24"; length=55 1/2"; Size 11/12 - bustline=37";

but the dress may be worn without the belt or a ribbon belt could be
substituted (a pale pastel color would look lovely).

Colorful Lillie Rubin
Gown
This beautiful designer gown by Lillie Rubin would not go unnoticed
at your next gala event! The extraordinary fabric is a chiffon in
beautiful, vibrant shades of purples, greens and golds. The entire
gown is covered with what appears to be gold metallic snowflakes.
The gown reminds me of New Orleans and would be perfect to ring in
the new millennium in the Mardi Gras spirit. The gown is a timeless
classic that will always remain stylish. It is fully lined, except
for the sheer long sleeves. The bodice is fitted and the waistline
is accented with an extremely wide belt done in the same fabric as
the gown. The belt is backed with leather for added stability and
has a three snap closure. This gown is a quality piece that will
remain a favorite until the next millennium. Neck label reads,
"Lillie Rubin". There is no size information, but gown measures:
bustline=36; waistline=26; length (shoulder to hemline)=57". The
gown is in very good condition.

LARGER SIZE!!! Floor-Length
Blue Beaded Vest
Add a splash of color to your wardrobe with this beautiful blue
beaded vest! The vest is floor length and has a center front opening.
There are no closures on the vest as it is meant to be worn over
another garment. The vest is heavily decorated with white beading.
A band of beading rims the neckline and continues down the front
opening and encircles the lower portion of the vest. The beading
does not go to the hemline of the vest, which will allow for some
alteration to the length. The remaining beading is done in an
overall swirling, vine-like pattern. The vest is a larger size and
is displayed on a dress form which measures: bustline=42;
waistline=34"; length=61". The vest is in very good condition, but
it does need cleaning as it has been stored in a bridal warehouse for
years. I noticed a few dusty smudges on the shoulder. The vest
could also be combined with VWC226 (Pink Beaded Vest) and used in a
wedding for the bridesmaids. The vest is pretty enough to be worn
for any special occassion and the color is still vibrant and even.

What a great summer treat! This white cotton gown is sweet to look
at and so easy to wear! The gown has a rounded neckline with an
encased elastic edge. The elastic allows the neckline to be worn off
the shoulders. A large shawl collar encircles the bodice and is
beautifully decorated with an embroidered floral design on the front.
Vertical cutout strips and light blue ribbon accent the collar and
the entire collar is edged in white eyelet trim. The floral designs

decorated with a red/pink rose design and VWC061 is done in a blue
floral design. The gown is sleeveless and has an empire waistline.
A drawstring is used to adjust the under the bust waistline. The
skirt is made from three horizontal panels, giving the skirt a tiered
look. Blue and pink ribbon accents complete the skirt. The sizes
are not true on these gowns. Please use the following measurements
as a more precise guide. The gowns will actually fit a much larger
size than marked. Following are approximate measurements: VWC057

Black Taffeta
Gown
While wearing this gown, you can imagine yourself gliding across the
dance floor to the sounds of the orchestra playing "on the Beautiful,
Blue Danube." The black taffeta skirt "swishes" as you waltz the
night away to the magic of Strauss. This gown has the look of a
Victorian gown from the 1890's - yet a bit of "naughtiness" from the
1980's has been added to the back that no conservative Victorian
would ever wear! The gown has a high neckline. The neckline and the
bodice of the gown are entirely covered in a metallic green, blue,
gold and purple. The bodice almost has a tapestry look to it. The
sleeves are a huge puff of black taffeta and quite dramatic with that
1890's flair! The back of the gown is the real eye catcher. It
features a triangular area, which has been cutout - beginning at the
neckline and continuing to just above the bra line. The gown has a
slightly dropped waistline and gathered full skirt. The back of the
skirt has a slight "bustle" effect, which is created with a double
tier of taffeta. There is no size or label information on the gown,
but measurements are: bustline=33"; waistline=27"; length (shoulder
to hemline)=50 1/2". The gown is in very good condition.
