Vintage 50s light blue cocktail dress

This dress is vintage perfection! A classic 1950s cocktail dress style, with cap sleeves and a full shirt. Photographed with a petticoat to show the fullness, this dress features a boat neck style, center back zip, and bows on the front and the back! A smaller bow is under the center bust seam, and there is a decorative bow and trailing tails at center back; full princess seams front and back for sculpted “fit and flare” silhouette. This dress is handmade, finished with a grosgrain ribbon around the hem. Interior seams are raw, and there is some fraying on the interior. Good condition, with some interior discolouration on the fabric. There are about 6 pin prick holes on each shoulder (3 on front, 3 on back) possibly from incorrect hanging in the past. Flash metal zipper, and hook and eye closure at the back to close at the top. No size or brand. Fits approx small. Please check measurements and let me know if you have any questions or require any additional measurements.
