Frankly, I’m only showing you the top of this gown since that’s all you requirement to know. The skirt might be completed with blaze-orange pom-pom trim, as well as you must still want this dress. (I exaggerate only slightly.) click on the picture to go to this dress’s providing on http://www.fashiondig.com, which is archaeological in the very best possible way. in that “omg we discovered King Tut’s tomb!1!!!1” way. Without any type of pesky curses (so far). Anyway, inspect it out. (The site had six pages of 1950s gowns alone!)
This specific one is B38/W30 as well as $75. It’s difficult to discover a great black vintage gown in top condition — obviously, since if it’s lovely at all, whoever had it very first most likely used the hell out of it. I have one that I treasure, made from a material so rigid it can stand on its own in Chicago winds, with velvet-trimmed pockets. I envision that the very first owner died suddenly promptly after buying it (perhaps even on the method house from the shop), as well as that her distraught other half kept whatever precisely as she had left it for, oh, fifty-five years. Which is patently untrue, as well as really type of creepy, however that’s what I like to think.
I’m sure nothing like that is included in the backstory of this dress. I’m sure it was a freak landslide in the middle of the night that buried miss Tammy’s Frock Nook, preserving all the clothes inside completely up until the building of a new highway bypass brought them to the interest of FashionDig. Absolutely.
