Condition 

This dress is in excellent condition for its age, although it has a couple of minor issues. It is slightly faded but you can only tell by comparing with hidden fabric. You cannot tell at all when worn. There is a tiny alteration at the tip of bodice (shown in last photo) where it was taken in slightly but you would never know. Two tiny pin dot spots  at base of one pocket again hardly noticeable. Front darts partially let out near waist. None of these detract from the presentation or wearability of the dress as you can see from the photos, but nevertheless I have priced it accordingly. Shown with a ribbon belt and crinoline for demonstration purposes only. Cleaned and ready to wear. Please drop us a line if your require additional information about this listing.

Comment

This dress is in excellent condition with no rips, stains, major fading or holes. The only point to make is that the fabric may not be as vibrant colour as it was originally but the dress presents beautifully and the colouring is consistent. Red ribbon not included. I have since found an ad in the 1960 Spiegel catalog which shows a very similar denim dress with bandana print, however the applique is a rooster rather than the fish which is featured on this dress.

Condition 

This eye catching dress is actually deadstock with its original hanging tags still attached. It is in pristine condition save for a patch of very slight colour bleed below the waist in one spot. The last picture highlights this. This dress  is cleaned and ready to wear and I must say the area of bleed lightened in the wash. It could very well disappear completely after a couple of more washes. Really not a big issue at all, hardly noticeable.

POLLY Style, Mules and Spring-o-laTOR SHOES
Polly style mules as well as Spring-o-lator heels were made famous by pin-up girls, cocktail waitresses, burlesque dancers and starlets back in the early 1960's. The star given most notoriety for wearing mules was Marilyn Monroe, although Jane Russell, her co-star, also loved wearing them. Polly shoes were launched in 1961 and became synonymous with the half metal/half wood heel that was deemed non breakable. The shoes are COMFORTABLE and easy to walk in.

Comment

These collectable Polly style shoes has been carefully looked after and are in excellent condition for their age. They have been worn but virtually the only sign of wear is on the underside, along with a couple of tiny scuffs and three missing jewels - all hardly noticeable when worn.  These are the real deal!! Not reproduction!!! Please drop us a line if your require additional information about this listing.
