Think Ann Margaret in movies like Viva Las Vegas and Bye Bye Birdie in the 60s....tight dresses, doing the twist and watusi ...

This cool vintage dress is fully lined and has a sexy deep v back bodice and wide deep v front. It has a wide waistband and a very cool fitted skirt with layers and layers of long black fringe.
Bust: 34"
Waist: 24"
Hips: 34"
Less Than Perfect Issues: the main issue is a panel of about 3" of the fringe in the front is damaged, and should be replaced. HOWEVER, please check out the photos, we've lightened both of the front shots to show the damage better; in bright daylight? it might be noticed. In a dark nightclub or bar at a costume party? most probably not.
We just noticed the right side seam of the waistband has come un-stitched, so that would need to be mended. We would also recommend having this dry cleaned, if you're planning on wearing it, even to a costume party.
This could easily be restored to it's former glory and beauty; we simply don't have the time or inclination to do so, especially since it's such a small size...if it fit? then maybe we'd be more likely to repair her to wear her. We hope she is repaired, rather than destroyed.
Although we are suggesting wearing her as a costume (gently, please) ? once she is restored, she would be an amazing holiday, event, formal or cruise party dress: totally one of a kind, and a definite head-turner.
Costume ideas?
* a swank roaring 20s lady...add long opera gloves and cigarette holder, a feathered head band, and a string or two of pearls...maybe a feather boa...
*Ann Margaret. (be sure you can shake it when you dance...)
