Hello and welcome!
This costume set is perfect for a Ren fair or even for a wedding!
The dress is vintage, handmade from the 1970s. It is made of thick, yet breathable cotton. The textured ivory fabric is accented by jute trim, which borders the neck, sleeves and front of the dress. The dress features a flattering square neckline, flowing bell sleeves and a flounce on the hem. A tulle flower is stitched on the waist by me.The back of the dress is closed by a zipper, (which stops at the jute-trimmed waist) and a hook and eye at the neck. Along with the dress is a large golden shawl (with sparkles!) and a long faux-diamond necklace, made of acrylic beads. Necklace is 18 inches long.
Here are the dress measurements, taken flat:
Shoulders are 18 inches across
Chest is 16 inches across
Pit to pit is 18 inches across
Waist is 13 inches across
Hips are 19 inches across
Shoulder to hem is 55 ½ inches
Sleeves are 20 ½ inches long
Neck is 7 2/8 inches across with a drop of 2 ½ inches in front
For reference, the dress form’s measurements are: 35, 27, 36. I was notable to fit the dress on the dress form because I made a change to the zipper. It used to be longer, but there was an issue with fabric catching so I sewed the lower half of it shut.
The dress is in very good vintage condition. I have soaked and washed it to restore the original beauty. There are still a couple very tiny spots which I tried to photograph, but nothing noticeable. The dress is clean and has no smells.
This is a upcycled/ vintage item, and may have issues I have not seen.Please keep that in mind.
Please be aware that the actual dress may not look exactly like the photo,as lighting and monitors are not always true.
