A lovely and unique vintage cocktail dress with what appears to be corde detailing to the fabric chiffon- I have never seen anything like it! The top dress is sheer and even has velvet trim on the sleeves. Both piece zip up the back. The dress with a metal zipper, the slip with a nylon zipper (I am not 100% sure the slip actually went with the dress originally). The dress also has an elastic waist! Note that the chiffon of the skirt is like a purple grey color. No size or label tags. Would likely best fit a modern Medium, though the corde and elastic waist of the dress do make it a bit more accommodating than most vintage dresses, the slip is not as accommodating. For reference model is modern women’s size 4/6 and dress form is size 8.

Measurements for dress:

  • Bust: 36-40 inches

  • Waist: 28 - 36 inches

  • Hips : about 40 inches to keep pleating look

  • Length: 41 inches

  • Sleeve Length: 13 inches

Measurements for Slip:

  • Bust: 38 inches

  • Waist: 29 inches

  • Hips : 38 inches

  • Length: 41 inches

    Fair vintage condition - Presents beautifully, but has wear to both pieces. It is wearable if you are careful as the pieces are delicate. But it would make a great costume or study! There are a number of issues. Some loose pieces of corde in the pattern as well as other loose threads here and there. There are some snags, rips, and holes in the chiffon of both pieces. The under slip has some major spotting and color bleed throughout. Some of the pleats are “falling” out of the dress.

All items are true vintage - meaning the are 20 years old or older in most cases and they are used!
