1950's Evening Gown Burgundy Velvet & Satin

1950's early 60's Burgundy Velvet Evening Gown.   The style is the Classic "A" Line look introduced by Dior in the mid 50's and made famous by Audrey Hepburn.  We are also selling the identical dress in a gorgeous Red Velvet...slightly larger size.

**The gown is part of a collection of evening gowns we acquired directly from the original owner.  Most are custom creations and designs and Couture Quality (hand or fine details).  She had the most elegant taste, loved the flowing Goddess style gowns, and was quite tiny.  So if you are a size 2 or even less...this should make your day.  You have a chance to acquire a completely original Breathtaking evening gown.  One more beautiful than the next.  ENJOY. 

ABOUT THIS DRESS

The velvet is a plush burgundy.  It is detailed in a simple elegant way with Red Satin around the neckline and at the back.  The skirt is a fuller "A" line...not as structured as the A Lines of the 60's.  It has a lovely deep "V" in the back and a satin bow.   It zips ups the back with a metal zipper. 

C O N D I T I O N:  Excellent.  Should visit cleaners to be refreshed and properly steamed.

S I Z E:  X-Small.  Length:  57", Bust area approx 34", waist 23-24".

PLEASE NOTE: We do not clean most of our vintage clothing, and recommend that you either wash or have them dry cleaned. Any issues we believe will be problematic we mention. Thanks, Maire et al
