(Late August and I know I'm not the only one thinking Halloween, right? Hey, people need time to think about these things!) You can start weeping right now because this was super glam in its day (as can be seen in its original state in photo toward the end) but now it's a wreck and only good for a costume......or maybe restoration...or pattern? The styling is amazing but everything is wrong with it. The color is darker than in the pics, which were lightened to show flaws, which are actually worse (how's that for honesty?). I wore it as a zombie (vampire? I Don't remember), Halloween, 1971, (shown). So to enumerate: stains, shredding, open seams, fading, shoulder pads missing, you name it. However this is also a stellar example of 40s loungewear, so it would make for a great pattern. Or for display. Black and white photo was taken during WW2. Offers OK bust 38" waist 28" length 52"
