VTG 1950's Chantilly Lace and Taffeta Dress

Gorgeous strapless dress circa the 50's. I believe it was custom-made possibly for a prom! The lining is in a beautiful iridescent teal taffeta and overlaid in Chantilly lace.

There's no tag anyway or size indicated—though with modern day sizing it wouldn't be very accurate anyway. I tried it on and I'd say it's approximately a US 6, which is rare since many dresses around this time were teeny tiny. Please double check measurements below.

It's in amazing condition considering it's around 70 years old! I actually don't really have any condition notes or flaws to mention. Might be a couple loose threads, but nothing major. Zipper still works, and the bodice still feels great. I think there may have once been some sort of sash, which should be easy to find. That's just my assumption looking at the stitches (and I found a straight pin near the waist... probably for the sash). Most of these dresses were designed to accentuate the waist and without the sash it's a bit more of a drop waist. The dress itself is quite heavy because of the materials for the time. The lace could probably use a lil more pressing or ironing.
