1930s 40s 50s Style Evening Dress Black Beaded Chiffon Skirt Velvet Vest Sz 8



Description

An sparkling black evening ensemble that has the vibe from 1930s 1940s or 1950s evening gown or ball gown in a classic combination of chiffon and velvet. The ensemble consists of a full, long beaded black chiffon evening skirt with all over spot sparkle beading, and a black velvet Laura Ashley vest with a swirl beading and sequin pattern on both sides of the front. The vest has a square neck wide straps, and 17 hook and eye closures down the front. The semi-fitted vest has a plain back and a square hemline. The vest fits beautifully over the long, full, beaded chiffon skirt. This formal skirt has wonderful drape and is light enough to \"float\", in Ginger Rogers style. The skirt is decorated with tiny groups of bugle beads which produce points of sparkle all over the skirt as you move - the pictures do not do justice to the magical points of light that sparkle from this skirt. The outer layer looks like silk chiffon, and the inner layer looks like a fine black linen, but I am not absolutely sure - and there is no label in the skirt. The narrow waistband of the skirt has a drawstring closure. Because both the lining and overskirt of the chiffon skirt are very light weight fabric, there is no bunching even when the drawstring is pulled tight. Note that the photos have been lightened to show detail - both pieces are jet black with sparkle but no fading or variation in color. The ensemble has the following approximate (pit to pit) 34\"

  • waist 30\"
  • bottom hem (above hips) 32\"
  • shoulder to hem 19\"
  • skirt
    • waist up to 26-32\" (with adjustable draw string)
    • hips full
    • waist to hem 44\"

    The measurements are approximately equivalent to a US size 8, and the ensemble fits my US size 8 model well. Because of the drawstring waist, the skirt would fit up to a US size 12, and could be drawn in to fit as small as a size 6 - a very flexible garment. This ensemble probably dates from the 1980s or 1990s but with the beautiful full beaded chiffon skirt and the fitted velvet vest with beaded front, this ensemble could be used as a ball gown for 1930s, 1940s or 1950s style. The ensemble has no major condition issues, however these are vintage garments that are at least 25 years old and there may be minor signs of age related wear such as the odd loose thread or tiny pick, although I did not see any. It appears clean and ready to wear though we did not launder it. A very versatile ensemble in sparkling basic black that is so classic that it transcends the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s styles - wear each piece with others to mix and match. Wear the ensemble with a black beaded evening jacket or top (neither included) for more of a 1940s vibe. Try the skirt with a full sleeve chiffon blouse and belt (neither included) for a more 1930s ballgown look - the options are endless and the flexible sizing of the skirt can be very useful. Another awesome formal, sparkling ball gown style ensemble, only from Antiquarius Antiques. Accessories not included.

Occasionally, everyone makes mistakes. If we have made a mistake in our description, please contact us through the \"contact seller\" button on the item in the purchase history, and discuss your issues with us so that we can have a chance to remedy the situation.

    Please be aware that vintage clothing is neither new nor perfect. In many cases,vintage clothing has been worn and is no longer new, and that is why it is such a good bargain. Excellent antique or vintage condition rarely means new - do not expect new or perfect as there will almost always be some signs of wear, especially with older items. Sometimes we sell newer vintage items that are new old stock (NOS) so they have never been worn and can be in such excellent condition that there are no signs of wear. But some of the garments we sell are 75 years old or more, and even if they were never worn, the fabric may show signs of wear just from being stored all those years. Please assume that older vintage and antique items may have a little dust and/or a few age spots, unless we have specifically stated that we have recently laundered the item. Nevertheless, vintage is a great way to dress extravagantly without having an extravagant budget. You can often find extraordinary examples of antique, vintage or designer items that are wearable textile art and will make you look like a million bucks!
