1950s Cotton Full Circle White Lace Eyelet Shirt Day Dress
This came from the original owner. Button down shirtdress - bodice with eye hook closure at waist. Buttons look original but the star of this dress is the durable cotton open eyelet lace with tiny eyelet trim around the collar, cuff and front opening. Short sleeve with cuff also adorned with tiny open floral blossom eyelet. Belted in same fabric shown with and without. Dress is lined with a light shear batiste and I found little to report damaged for besides its age. Of course it has some yellowing mostly on interior and bottom hem area has been washed and pressed, lace is in great shape. I have looked and did not find any areas to show for flaws on exterior, if i missed them they must be small and there is a lot of fabric. Photos are shown with a crinoline underneath that is NOT included with the dress Circa: Mid 50s Material: Cotton Brand: Unknown - Union tag only found Pattern: White eyelet Size: XS Bust: 32" Waist: 25" Full circle bottom with yards of fabric Measurement from back of collar to bottom hem: 44" add another 3" for collar. Armpit to waistline: 9" Condition: Very good no visual area of great concern on exterior, no tears and color is vibrant after cleaning. Some discoloration on inside slight yellowing - if there is a tear it was hard to find. Interior lining has been professionally mended at waistline detached from waist and most likely torn during cleaning. It continues to brighten each time. All items are washed and pressed unless otherwise noted.
