Taupe Beaded Chiffon
Dress
This dress is of a newer vintage and would be the perfect dancing
dress! The dress has a rounded neckline and the entire bodice is
decorated with clear beading done in a swirled design. The sleeves
are long and straight and also decorated with beading. They have a
snap and hook/eye closure at the wrist. The bodice is fitted at the
waistline, where a horizontal band of beads creates the waistband.
The skirt has a fairly straight underskirt, with a double chiffon
overskirt. The overskirt is wide and flowing. There is no label in
the dress, but the attention to detail tells me it is very well made.
It has a center back metal zipper which runs to the waistline and
material covered snaps which hold the chiffon skirt in place. The
zipper is hand stitched in place. It is sturdy, but I don't know if
this was original or replaced. The beading is in very good
condition, with very few, if any missing. The dress is in very good
condition, but has not been cleaned. I do not see any stains, tears
or holes, but there is some minor staining to the underlining of the
skirt. This is not seen through the chiffon overskirt. The dress
measures: bustline=36"; waistline=26", length (waistline to
hemline)=29 1/2".

sweetheart neckline and short sleeves. Three small faux pearl
buttons accent each sleeve. The bodice is fitted with a "V"
waistline in the front. A beaded applique decorates the center front
of the bodice. The skirt is slightly gathered and above the knee in
length (in the front). The skirt portion of the dress gradually
lengthens until it is almost floor length in the back. The dress has
a center back zipper and the skirt is fully lined in the same
material as the dress. Two large rosettes decorate the center back
waistline. There are no labels, but the measurements are as follows:
bustline=36"; waistline=28"; length (shoulder to front hemline)=36";
length (shoulder to back hemline)=51". The dress is in good
condition, but does need cleaning.

Red/White Beaded
Gown
This gown is of newer vintage (1970-1980's); however it will still
turn all eyes in your direction! The gown is red and decorated
throughout with beading and sequins. The dress has a "V" neckline
and padded shoulders. A wonderful abstract design covers the
shoulders and cascades over the bodice. It is created from white and
silver rhinestones, with red, white gold and clear round and bugle
beads. The remainder of the gown is accented with red tubular beads
strung in a squiggly fashion throughout the gown. The sleeves are
long and fitted. The gown is cut very straight with slits on each
side. It has a red lining and back zipper. The neck label reads,
"Veelam" and it is a size small. The gown is very clinging and does
have a little stretch to it. It is in very good condition; however
some of the beads and sequins could use retacking. There is minimal
bead loss. The gown has not been cleaned and the lining definitely
needs pressing. Measurements: bustline=32"-33"; waistline=26";
hips=32"-33"; length (shoulders to hemline)=54".

Gunne Sax Black Velvet &
Green Satin Size 9
What a striking dress! This strapless dress begins with a black
velvet bodice. The bodice is boned and very fitted. The skirt is
done in a rich green color - a beautiful contrast to the black velvet
bodice. A large bow accents the center front of the dress at the
waistline. The bow is decorated with clear rhinestone trim (the
rhinestone trim needs a bit of tacking). The skirt is layered with
the top layer gradually opening to show the bottom layer. Both are
done in the same rich green. The dress also has an attached
crinoline to give the skirt a bit of body. An additional crinoline
could be worn for added fullness. The dress has a center back
zipper. The gown has never been worn and the label reads, "Gunne
Sax" "Size 9". Please use the following measurements, rather than
size as Gunne Saxs usually run a bit small. The dress measures:
bustline=34"; waistline=26"; skirt length (waistline to hemline)=27
1/2". The dress is in very good condition and just needs a bit of
steaming.

Gunne Sax Pink/White Lace
Dress
This dress is so sweet - yet just a touch daring! The dress is made
by Gunne Sax and is done in a pink with a white lace overlay. The
dress has a bit of a 1940's look to it. It has padded shoulders and
a sweetheart neckline. The bodice is fitted with a drop waistline.
The back of the dress is so dramatic. It buttons at the neckline,
then is open to the waistline. The sleeves are long and fitted with
a 3 button closure. A large pink bow accents the center back
waistline of the dress. The bow may be removed as it is currently
only pinned in place. The dress is tea length and measures
approximately: bustline=35"; waistline=26"; shoulder to shoulder
width=14 1/2" and length (shoulder to hemline)=49". The dress is in
very good condition but does have a few breaks in the lace. These
are not serious and not at all detracting. The dress is very
versitile and could be worn by a bride, bridesmaid or to any formal
occasion.

Circa 1930's Bias Cut
Vintage Gown
This bias cut vintage gown is so sweet! It would also be a perfect
bridesmaid's gown! The gown is done in a pink moire type fabric with
a watermark design. The gown has a square neckline trimmed with tiny
maroon velvet bows (1 is missing, but it would be very easy to just
replace them all). The bodice is gathered at the neckline and along
the top portion of the diamond shaped insert which begins right below
the bustline and continues through the waistline. Short, puffy
sleeves which are lined with netting complete the bodice. There is a
material tie bow in the back which is decoration only. The bow does
need a little work and a good stiffening. The skirt has that
beautiful 1930's bias cut flare! The gown has a side zipper. This
vintage
gown is in very good condition; however it does have a small area
along the hemline which is discolored. This could probably be hemmed
away. The dress measures as follows: bustline=34"; waistline=26";
skirt length=approximately 45 1/2".
