This is a embellished bodice from a vintage 1950's evening cocktail dress. The fabric shows holes and damage, but perhaps this beautiful trim can be used on a new piece. The neckline is a double-wide runched black velvet ribbon. There are black roses and leaves in varying sizes. Stems appear to be couched embroidery. Some roses include black satin ribbon touches.
Condition: As previously mentioned, fabric has holes. I have photographed the only hole which comes close to the trim (see last photo). The black velvet floral touches and couched embroidery stems are all in excellent condition.
Dimensions: Neckline is 36" Long as measured on the edge. The runched ribbon is 1" wide. Largest center velvet rose is 2.25" diameter. Neckline to bottom of that largest rose is 4.75" Long. At shoulders, distance to trim edge is 2.25" Long.
Unpacked weight: 5 oz.
Always happy to pass through discounts on
combined shipping. I only charge actual postage, and always use recycled
packing materials.
Note some photos appear redundant because I take
photos from all possible angles. On symmetrical items, these photos
may appear redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition
issues between side views.
I gladly accept returns, but please note I do
not pay return postage unless there was a significant error in my
description. The item listed is being
sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my knowledge. All
dimensions and weights approximate. If you have a question or an assumption on
an item prior to purchase, please ask. I much prefer to take the time on
the front end to make sure you will be satisfied with your purchase.
Remember, when buying vintage expect
imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of
others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an
antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting
from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude
surprises upon receipt.
