This is a wonderful 1950s tulle dress featuring a hand embroidered navy blue floral pattern throughout the tulle netting.  This 1950s tulle dress is made with cap sleeves and has a V shaped neckline front and back - the neckline is bordered with three rows of navy blue ribbon that form bows on the shoulders.  The skirt flares out to an ankle length.  The waist cinches with a matching belt.  The dress is constructed with a top layer of tulle netting, a middle layer of tulle and a bottom layer of rayon taffeta fabric.  This 1950s tulle dress was photographed with a crinoline - the use of a crinoline creates a fuller look although it’s not absolutely necessary.  The dress closes with a zipper down the left side.  

Label: only the retailer’s label Judith Clark Montreal.  Judith Clark owned a high-end ladies’ dress boutique located in downtown Montreal.  As an aside, Judith Clark was married to Morris “Two Gun” Cohen, a colourful character who, despite being caucasian, became a general in the Chinese military during the 1930s, the only non-Chinese to ever hold that rank.

Sizing:  No size is indicated, and although this 1950s tulle dress should fit a medium size, please note the following measurements for fit:

Bust:  36” 

Waist:  28” 

Hips:  40” (meant to be full and fall loosely/flare out)

Condition:  This 1950s tulle dress is in very good condition with the exception of some yellowish toning in both armpit areas (see last two close-up photos).  Otherwise, the dress has no other pronounced wear, tear, staining or soiling.

This is a lovely quality 1950s tulle dress - very pretty!
