Description: This listing is for an Ivory spaghetti strap CHICAS dress.  There are detailed 3d elements /designs on the dress that make it fascinating to look at.

Sizing: This dress fits like a small 4/6 for the most part, except that the last inch or two of the zipper wouldn't go up. This is due to the top alterations. Therefore an extra small sized person that wears a 2-4 should fit in this piece as well. My mannequin, her name is Audrey, is a size Small 4/6 for reference. This dress fits Audrey pretty well except for that last inch of zipper.

Defects: Wearable condition but in desperate need of a dry clean. There have also been (bad) alterations made to the top side (under the armpit) to make it slightly smaller in the top. There is also obvious pinning on the straps.

History: This dress was acquired from a family-owned theatre company that operated for decades in Halethorpe, Md.  It has been used in one or more past theatrical or dance productions as a stage costume and is a true vintage original piece. 

All items from this estate were stored hanging on racks in a closed-down theatre space for many years.  Each item has a special and unique performance background.  Your dress may have been used to cell block tango in Chicago, square dance in Oklahoma's corn fields, or befriend a Nutcracker while evading the evil Mouse King.

As is the case with costumes, it is possible that there have been alternations, pinning, stains, and damage from use.  While every effort has been made to list any defects or changes to these pieces, I cannot be certain that every issue is listed.  These pieces are true antique originals and I will be unable to offer refunds.  Please take this into consideration and let me know if you have any questions prior to purchase.  It is truly my goal to make each of my customers happy.  Thank you for looking!
