40's Shocking Pink Velvet and Tulle Ballgown order

Ginger Rogers- Dance on Air INDEED. This is such a vibrant, whimsical piece! This dress could easily have been used in an early MGM dance number. It has beautiful movement with two layers of HOT order PINK tulle and structure with the ruched cotton velveteen bodice. The velveteen “bow” detail on the skirt sends it over! It's so rare to find dresses like this in colors this vivid! She isn't perfect, but she is still a stunner!

Label- Harlene

Condition- Good/Fair. There is fading on both sides of the skirt lining. There's also a bit of piling in the velvet along the line where it looks like it follows some stitches. You can see it in the photos from the back by the shoulder blades. Multiple small tears to the tulle. None of these flaws are structural and the gown is still very solid despite these flaws.

Measurements-
Bust- 16”
Waist- 13”
Hips- Free
Length- 53”. Best for someone petite.

Sadly, I couldn't try this one on. She's too tiny for me, so my mannequin Debbie had to do the job. She's a little tall, and she's lucky that her arms come off and pop back on or she might have had a harder time with this too.

When buying vintage, there are almost always going to be some imperfections. I do my best to describe the ones I find. You're choosing clothing with a past, and who doesn't have a few imperfections in their past? I try to focus on items that have the character that comes from a life well lived and try to avoid clothing with too much "baggage".

Also, when looking at measurements, give yourself some wiggle room! You AND your garment both want to be able to breathe! If you need more information about measurements, don't hesitate to ask!
