NOTE: As always, lots of wonderful details to share,
but if you would prefer to skip the embellishments
and see only the dress’ specifics and measurements,
scroll down and read only the words in red.
If glamour and “wow” factor are your goals for
choosing that perfect formal, this beautiful
blush color mermaid style gown
has it all: Lots of sparkle, yards and yards of
luxurious ruffles that trail in back in a small sweep train and an amazing silhouette. Perfect for prom, pageant evening gown, or
if you’re an unconventional bride that just isn’t a fan of white or ivory
wedding gowns, this would make a gorgeous and totally unexpected alternative.
.. get a matching veil that’s long but attached to the back of your updo, or
just go the very modern and chic route with a pretty tiara and plenty of added
bling at your neck, wrist and ears.
Strapless and perfect for warm weather, the sweetheart neckline
is both sweet and sexy and the fitted bodice and torso makes for a statuesque silhouette. Covered in hundreds of beads and hand sewn rhinestones cover the entire upper part of the gown in
both the front and back with the added sparkle that spells celebration. Turned edges of the ruffles add structure to the curly ends of the voluminous
skirt. Speaking of voluminous, the dress features 3 layers of tulle,
as well as a chiffon outer layer, and satin lining,
CONDITION: Gently boned
through the bodice, it closes up the back with a long hidden zipper and comes in wonderful pre-owned
condition with no stains except along the edge of the hem, as expected from
walking in, and no major bead loss although some is to be expected and actually
occurs often even while in the store, before a dress is purchased. . The only issue we noticed was a hole/ damage to the edge of
one of the ruffled curls(
at the hem, in back) We mended it to prevent the hole from enlarging and
with all of that fabric, it’s not
noticeable, unless you are searching for it. From the looks of it, it was probably caused by a heel
stepping on it and going through it, pretty
common in formal gowns with trains.
CONDITION: Stored with us in a pet and smoke free environment, it comes
to you in wonderful vintage condition with no notable
odors, stains or tears,

With many of our items authentically from the 1940’s and 1950’s,and
some even being over 60 years old, Because
of their age ,button holes, hems and seams may be missing thread or beads, or
to reinforce, very small holes and snags in the fabric or lace may occur ( if
we see them, we WILL mention them in the listing, so you can decide whether
or not to purchase, but some of our items are very ornately embellished and
flaws are not easily detected and can be missed during examination) or discoloration may occur .
If any of these situations do exist and we
don’t mention it, it usually means it was too small of defect to be noticeable
while wearing, and does not affect the garment’s wearability or overall
appearance. Because ALL SALES ARE FINAL

we make the flaws known right from the start, and perfect or not, we ALWAYS
strive to include clear description and plenty of pictures. Please also keep

the scent of mothballs or other smells we can’t always identify ). We will specify if we notice
anything , but want to inform our buyers that cleanliness ,scents, or age
