Brand Poppy's Vintage Clothing
This is a vintage 1950s halter dress made of pink gauze chiffon over pink acetate. This 1950s halter dress has a with a full cut skirt and shelf bust that is covered in rhinestone studded white lace. I’ve posed this 1950s halter dress dress with a crinoline underneath it - no crinoline is supplied with the dress and although it is usable without a crinoline, it requires a crinoline to get a full skirt look. The bust has a built-in support with stays and the dress does up the side with a metal zipper.
Label: no label
Fabric: Gauze Chiffon, most likely rayon with an acetate lining
Sizing: No size is indicated on this 1950s halter dress, but it should fit an extra small size - please rely on the following measurements for fit, noting the bodice length as I believe that this is meant for a shorter person:
Bust: 30”-32” around
Bodice: 10” from the top of the bust to the waist at the front / 17” from the top edge of the halter strap to the waist
Waist: 24”-25” around
Hips: Full - 46”, meant to fall loosely
Overall length: 48“, measured flat from halter to hemline (skirt will extend out with a crinoline)
Condition: This 1950s halter dress is in very good condition with no pronouncedwear, tear or staining but the acetate base layer is hanging lower than the chiffon. If this bothered you, you could hem the acetate lining. The dress definitely looks like it saw use, but is still very wearable.
This is a wonderful 1950s halter dress.....attractive style and colour, cute if it fits!
