| DETAILS |
Silhouette: sheer puff sleeve dramatic gown with scalloped sweetheart neckline and mitered ribbon trim skirt.
Label: n/a
Material: Rayon crepe, net, rayon velvet ribbon
Colors: Black, light blue
Condition: Good with some age related issues. The netting has multiple areas of small holes-generally this type of netting does not hold up after 80-90 years. The shape of the sleeve is still very much intact. The velvet ribbon on the skirt was loose in certain areas during the photo shoot, it has been since re-sewn. The bow is a little droopy and could be sewn in place on the skirt, I will leave up to the buyer.
