A really lovely late 30s or early 40s evening dress with a long skirt, puffed short sleeves, and a high waist. Skilfully homemade, it features a slight sweetheart neckline, padded shoulders, and a pleated, unlined sugary pink taffeta skirt with a matching tie belt. It secures with a metal side zip and is in good condition, though there are some faint, mostly hidden marks on the skirt.

Vintage clothing is often homemade and/or follows a very different size guide to modern-day clothing. Please ensure you check the measurements carefully on the product description before making your order. We use a rough sizing guide based on waist sizing:
XS | Waist 22"- 25"
S | Waist 26"- 27"
M | Waist 28"- 30"
L | Waist 31"- 32"
XL | Waist 33"- plus
Please do not take the size guide as gospel as the size stated here may not be the size you would normally buy. It is very important to know your bust, waist and hip sizing ahead of purchase.
