Vintage 50s Black Party Dress by Patricia Fair - SOLD As Is - Read full description. Smocked shoulders, double capped sleeves. Flounce ruffle down back from waist and ruffle along hem. No size or material content tag. It is thin nonstretch material with moderate sheerness. The ruffle is acetate or similar and not sheer. Has a thin metal zipper on upper back and also side. Has shoulder pads, but these are safety pinned in, could be removed. 32" max bust, 26" waist, free 42" hips, 47" long, 16" bodice, approx 17" shoulders - Model is 510" US S/4 Flaws: The dress has gentle fade across the top, over shoulders, neck and cap sleeve. This flaw is included in the photos, though the photo makes it more obvious than it is. There are chalky/dusty areas particularly inside the dress around neck and shoulders and at the waist. I have not had the dress dry cleaned, it is possible this could be lifted with cleaning. 2/8 inch frayed tear right above hem flounce on front. Scattered pin size to pencil eraser to dime size hole (included in close up photo) in hem ruffle. Ruffle going down from waist has scattered pin tip size holes. 1/8 inch small hole and a few smaller holes along side seam. Price reflects these flaws and condition.
