Vintage 50s Donovan-Galvani Yellow Striped Shirtwaist Dress Cotton Voile As Is

A piece of Dallas fashion history in "distressed" condition. This is an authentic 1950s Donovan-Galvani shirtwaist dress made of airy yellow and white striped cotton voile. Why it's cool (despite the flaws): The construction is amazing. The pleats on the bodice and hips are engineered to manipulate the striped pattern, creating a slimming solid yellow look that flares into stripes. It’s a brilliant example of mid-century tailoring. Condition - POOR / AS-IS: This dress is damaged. Stains: Multiple dark spots on the front. Holes: Fabric tearing/shredding near the hem. Old visible mending patches. Hardware: Missing side snaps. Best For: Pattern study (copy the design!), costume (Zombie/Horror/Grunge), or fabric salvage. Measurements (Approximate, taken flat): Bust: 36" (Doubled) Waist: 28" (Doubled) Length: 39" Sizing: Fits like a modern Small/Medium.
