Fantastic 50s sun dress by Melbray in the sharpest diagonal liquorice stripe print in cream, dark yellow and black. Really fantastic silhouette wiht a shelfy fitted bust with gathers and boning and thin black shoulder straps. Underbust is seamed and fitted and the waist nips the silhouette in further with very full skirt sewn in dramatic gathers. Side metal zipper to fasten. Just such a great sharp style!
Dress is pictured with a petticoat which is not included in the sale.
SIZE
The dress is not labeled with a size but fits approx like an XS. For your best fit please refer to the measurements.
Fit on model: does not zip up in the bust
Chest: 31" flat but there is fullness in the bust so allowing for the curvature would fit 32")
Underbust: 28"
Waist: 25"
Hip: free
Shoulder to underbust: 12"
Shoulder to natural waist: approx 16"
Length: 40.5"
(There is a 2.5" hem on this with the original hem underneath so could easily be let down)
CONDITION
Very good condition. Has been rehemmed but hem is uncut so could easily be restored. One small mark on the front of the skirt, which I think may be a print anomaly? It doesn't budge with cleaning at all, and is identical in colour to the printed stripes. One tiny faint pen tip spot on the hem.
