Description

Dating from the 70s but with a distinct 50s debutante feel to it, this is a most beautiful, ultra feminine, full length evening dress / prom gown / wedding dress with a matching floaty stole in white voile polyester chiffon with tiny gold dots which add sparkle to the fabric. The dress has double spaghetti straps and a softly ruched empire line bodice which has four bows attached to the front. There is delicate crystal pleating detail under the empire line opening out into a full length skirt with a good bit of volume. The dress is fully lined with a back zip and is in excellent vintage condition, but the straps will probably need to be shortened slightly for a custom fit.

DESIGNER: John Charles

FABRIC: chiffon polyester
CARE: dry clean
CONDITION: very good
SIZE: labelled UK10, best contemporary fit UK6/8
MEASUREMENTS: underarm-underarm – 16”, under bust – 12½”, length (underarm to hem) – 49”

Sizing

Customers are asked to bear in mind that vintage garment sizes bear little or no resemblance to contemporary sizes. Furthermore, current high street size labels are inconsistent, with M&S and Wallis being noted for their generous proportions while others come up on the small side.

Please always refer to the measurements provided in the item description rather than the garment label size, and note that any ‘best fit’ suggestion we make will be based on modern day sizing. By way of example, our own suggested standard size 12 dress has an underarm to underarm measurement of approximately 19" with a waist size of 30".

In order to best gauge the suitability of an item, you may find it useful to compare our stated measurements with those of one of your own garments which is a comfortable fit. Our garment measurements are taken with the item laid flat, and all sizes in our descriptions are approximate.
