I began collecting Antique Clothes in 1971- yup, 54 years ago! I can't believe it either! What I can believe is in all that time, this ensemble is the most delicate, intact I've had the privilege to own! As well, I also owned a brick and mortar Antiques biz 34 years, so I've had enormous opportunity to source beautiful garments for my Antique Clothing collection - and still in all my capacity to find Antique clothing, this ensemble remains unique. The sheer palest peach nearly nude Chiffon decieves you to think it's a negligee, but snaps + hooks & eyes in the seam say otherwise! Then there's the companion silk slip & what about the coordinating bolero jacket? It's a magnificent find with very minimal occasional blemishes somewhat difficult to photograph that tend to hide in the volume of silk. Garments this age can be delicate - the utmost care will be taken in packaging it. But as such garments may be damaged by overly ambitious handling or attempting to try on or to wear an item not suitable for your body type or size, No Return Will be Allowed. Please understand, you're purchasing a magnificent piece of Fashion History.

wellesley222 Would you be able to show what it looks like on a real life person or mannequin? It’s hard to tell how it fits from these photos.

bbbabe3715 @wellesley222 I'm so sorry to say she won't fit on my mannequins and I've no one to model it, unfortunately.

awright0921 Exquisite! I had several vintage gowns I lost in a house fire in 2021. Do you have any dresses made by Anne Verde?She was a designer in NYC during the 1950s and I would love to have one of tea length 50s dresses again.

bbbabe3715 @awright0921 Hi,Anne❣️I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your collection of Vintage Dresses! A house fire is such a terrible thing, like the current devastation of so many in Southern California! I hope you have been able to recover from the trauma of it, though certainly replacing lost cherished items is not something you can fully stain. I don't recall having any of her creations, but as I've collected so many decades it is possible that I do...

plumaltar It is a night set. Many such sets, especially bridal and luxury loungewear, had hooks and eyes and snaps, and get this, seams! even French ones lol. Good lord.🤦‍♀️ It's beautiful, but it's absolutely a night set.

fambrowade1972 You lost me at the tiny waist but it is exquisite. They don't make clothes like they used to.

bbbabe3715 @jamers185 Hi,Jamie-apologies, I just discovered your inquiry. There's no comparison to contemporary sizes, or at least I should say I wouldn't try to: am I incorrect or do you also find they vary from one designer/Co to another? Please see my 1st comment. Most experienced Posh sellers measure laid flat: you approximate fit by doubling the flat measure, underarm2underarm as proxy for Bustline. Certainly ot exact science, best one can do when something is truly unique🌹

bbbabe3715 @fambrowade1972 I can only imagine the gorgeous creature it was created for! But admittedly, I'm a hopeless Romantic about the era. Like all times, individuals undoubtedly struggled -the crash of 29, the Great Depression- but there was a somewhat demure femininity when a woman could afford to indulge herself that seems almost lost to us a Century later...

sileindigo just wanted to say this is absolutely gorgeous, and would possibly fit me?!? although because I'm 6' tall and the waist is 0.5" smaller than my measurements I'm not so sure...but damn, wow, wedding dreams hehe✨️🤗

bbbabe3715 @rachthompson These are the measurements of the gown itself. I will measure the slip and bolero jacket soon. Thank you for your interest🌹 Laurel
