$ 225.00
By: Julie Miller
Size: 14 but that is vintage sizing so go by the measurements as measurements have changed over the years.
Approximate Measurements – This means the measurements of the item listed –
not of your own figure. You must be a few inches smaller than the measurements shown.
Bust: 38
Sleeve from neck: Nearly 26
Waist: 29 with no stretch
Hips: Full
Length: 58
Fabric: 100% Orlon, sequins, nylon
Care: Dry clean
Condition: Very good - a few imperfections closer to the hem line front and back but both are close to the hemline and no one will see them especially in a darkened room. The soiling looks worse in the photos and larger than in real life. A cleaning should remove them but the dress is quite long at 58" and some people may want to make it shorter and thus the imperfections might be turned under the hem. A few pin pricks of soiing on the skirt which are minute. I added photos of the imperfections and a cleaning could probably remove most everything which no one would notice even if they did not as they are pretty far down. Although I did not see any there might be some loose or missing beads but there are tons of sequins so it's hard to tell. Just a reminder if you take it in to be cleaned make sure they are a cleaner who is familiar with vintage clothing and make sure he does not use heat on the sequins.

Care Instructions
We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be new, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. I will always state in the description if there are any imperfections & I never do repairs but leave them to others who are better able to do them than me as that is not my expertise.
Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use or wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing or using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.
Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, then rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.
Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I definitely would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.
The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements as there is no return on clothing or other items.
