Comment

This gorgeous dress and jacket set has been carefully looked after and is in excellent condition for its age. Fabric is crisp and strong and free from notable flaws. The only issue I can see is that the belt buckle at back is slightly worn. This is a stunning dress! For information it was featured in the Australian TV Series A Place to Call Home

Description

* Outstanding 1950s shell pink reflective silk satin dress

Condition 

This dress is in excellent condition for its age. Perhaps a couple of minor scuffs in the skirt but nothing of significance to note. The hem may have been altered at some point but does not show from the exterior of the dress. The Chantilly lace is in great condition too. I sold an almost identical version of this dress on the website some time ago. It was silver with black lace but had a different label. The fabric in this dress is stiffer which leads me to believe that it hasn't had much wear. Cleaned and ready to wear.
