Vintage 1950s Ball Gown Pink Taffeta & Tulle Prom Dress Sz S

This is a wonderful 1950s ball gown / prom dress that could also be used as a bridesmaid’s dress.  This 1950s ball gown is made with an off-the-shoulder neckline and with a pleated taffeta bodice. The taffeta extends down past the hips and is finished in an irregular edged pleated border.  The skirt is made of layers of netted pink tulle over a pink taffeta base.  This 1950s ball gown was photographed with a crinoline - the use of a crinoline creates a fuller look although it’s not absolutely necessary.  It closes with a metal zipper at its back.    

Label: None - looks manufactured, otherwise made by a professional couturier/seamstress

Sizing:  No size is indicated, and although this should fit a small size, please note the following measurements for fit:

Bust:  32”-34” / Waist:  25” / Hips:  40” (meant to be full) / Length:  44”, measured flat

Condition:  This 1950s ball gown is in very good condition with no pronounced wear, tear or odour -there is one tiny stain at the lower right, just above the tulle (see last close-up photo).  I haven’t tried to remove it, and although it looks large in the extreme close-up photo, it only measures 1/8” in diameter, so pretty insignificant.  Otherwise, it looks like it saw maybe one use and was well stored over the years.

This is a lovely 1950s ball gown - pretty in pink!
