Vintage 1950s Dress - Documented 1959 L'aiglon Novelty Pink Butterfly Insect Floral Print Voile Dress Size XS to S

♛Details Vintage late 1950s tea-length dress in pale pink voile, pintucked and printed with charming butterflies made of blossoms. Feels/looks like cotton, but is easy-care Dacron. Note: I found the original ad for this one from 1959. There’s also a “sister dress” with a print of floral guitars instead of bugs. Closures: rear metal zipper Need layaway?

All accessories (belts, jewelry, crinolines, pins, etc.) are for style inspiration only unless indicated. ♛Measurements About a modern size XS to busty S. Allowances + interior darts for tailoring larger or smaller. Note: this one was taken in invisibly through rear bodice seams -- looks like it could be let back out very easily. In all, there are LOTS of fabric allowances tidily hidden inside...this one could be let out quite a bit with tailoring, up to about a modern M. Some "give" to the fabric when pulled very tight, wherever indicated. Bust (underarm area measured flat across, then doubled) to about 36"/tight 38" Waist to about 24" - tight 25" unbelted Hips full Shoulder to waist seam about 15" Shoulder to hem about 43" + 6" Sleeves about 5" No shoulder seams ♛Condition Great vintage shape. Nitpicks: some tiny faint grey pindots clustered near hem. These really do not stand out to the eye during wear, especially with the location and the busy print. See close-up. •••••• Minor signs of previous use, character, and age are normal and expected for all pre-owned and vintage pieces.
