Description

Incredible vintage 1950's Original by Rudolf gown
purple silk taffeta with fuchsia trim
slight train, the whole hem line is lined in fuchsia, 10.5 inches up
side hip bustle with fuchsia flowers
on each side at the hip there is padding to make the hips stick out, pannier style, these look like shoulder pads on the inside
gathered bodice
spaghetti straps
side metal zipper
reversible cape, shawl
the gown is in remarkable shape, but like most vintage taffeta there is some fade mainly on the bodice, some very light fade on the skirt, you can see it in the picture, very slight, couple of spots 1 on the bodice, 1 on the front of the skirt just below the waist, these look like they will lift out, 1 small hole on the skirt, it gets lost with all that fabric
there is a waist band that came with the gown, it is quite faded, I personally like the gown better without it
cape has some spotting on the fuchsia side, right near the edge, could be cut down
cape is 100'' long by 24'' wide
BUST 32

WAIST 25

HIPS free

SHOULDER TO WAIST 15

SKIRT LENGTH front 41, back 43
