Champagne brocade with delicate pattern on sturdy (satin-like) material. Two pieces - a sheath and a jacket. *This dress is so hard to take a photo of, regardless of what kind of light three is a heavy reflection but both pieces in the set are all of the same champagne material with zero discoloration. Sheath has small 'bow' at neckline, short sleeves and jacket has 3/4 sleeves and beautiful ornamental 'button' swirl detail and pocket flaps (which are not actual pockets). Both knee length and fully lined. This was bought from an estate sale and I was told it was worn once at a wedding. It is in exceptional condition and has been properly stored for approximately 60 years (no moth damage or imperfections, and for a handmade piece in heavy fabric the tailoring is really quite amazing). I wish it was my size and I had somewhere to wear it (not that I need an occasion to dress up !) It gives me mother-of-the-bride or dinner with the president vibes. A very free size, would best fit large and above (up to a 4XL). Measurements laying flat : Sheath - armpit to armpit 24" waist 25" length 40" Jacket - armpit to armpit 24" waist 26" length 40"

lacrawfo11 @evearden2 hi! must of the other items already sold. I have quite a few other items from the 30s and 40s that I had also bought then but are in need of repair (like a gorgeous beaded flapper dress). I wasn't sure people would be interested in things that needed repair. both of the headpieces come from this sale though! 🤗

lacrawfo11 @evearden2 oh great! I'll make a seperate post of a 'lot' with pictures of everything I have, individual pictures of each, and then you can see if there's anything in there you like. (I can separate them after if there's individual items you like). There's an amazing flapper dress that needs some love. My mannequin is at school so I'll do the best I can to take accurate photos.
