Stunning black silk dress with sheer flowered overlay, nude mesh lining on the bodice, and crinoline under a satin lining. Absolutely gorgeous. Please check measurements carefully - this dress is quite small through the waist (the waist sits up high; I'm a 4/6 and it's very very snug). Roomier through the shoulders and bust. Perfect for someone with an hourglass 50s figure. Skirt measures 25" from waist seam. Smashing! The same dress is on FirstDibs in cream for $650.

Can you confirm the waist measurement? :)

@totalblamblam hi I'm so sorry for my slow response. I will check the waist measurement tonight. The waist sits up high, just below ribcage. I'm small on top (about a 4) and it's very snug. Measurements coming tonight. Thanks for your interest!

@totalblamblam hi I'm getting a waist measurement about 12.5/13" when it's lying flat, depending on how taut I pull the fabric. The waist is about 15" from the shoulder seam.

@lundincalling ooof that’s probably juuust a bit too teensy for me. I’ll see how small I can get my waist with a cincher. Thanks so much for checking! ❤️

@totalblamblam yeah it was smaller than I remembered! It's a wonder I got it zipped. But it's roomy up top so it's gonna take a special figure to pull this one off.

@lundincalling ugh! Typical vintage - made for a girdle and a bullet bra 😭

@totalblamblam exactly! Except you can't easily wear a bra with this one because the nude mesh goes down quite low in front. My A cups don't cut it.

@lundincalling Carnival still makes perfect vintage style longline bustiers that work perfectly for pieces like this! :)

@totalblamblam thank you for the tip!

I'm hosting a party next month and I'm hoping my theme allows me to showcase this beauty, or that it's long gone to a happy buyer by then! Stunnibg

@miaowza thank you! This one is really special but it requires a special figure to pull it off. Wish I could wear it but I’d probably pass out from lack of oxygen - it’s snug around my small ribcage.
