$82.80
Vintage 1949 Tailor made dress.
The bodice is delicately styled and gathered into a nicely cut waist, with banded detailing, flat front and gathered sides
The skirt is a little more than a full circle to give lots of movement as the lady walks.
There is one underskirt, which is in rayon silk and is approximately two circles, with the innermost lining being styled on a generous circle
Most of this work has been done by hand.
The bodice is lined in rayon silk.
The dress has been freshly dry cleaned and is ready to wear.
Previously the dress was owned by a designer who worked for
Frank Usher.
This is not a mass-produce dress, but an original design of over 70 years, and part of a private Italian fashion collection
