Excellent vintage condition!

Measurements taken flat:

  • Shoulder to shoulder 18”

  • Length 55”

  • This is a sheath style gown with princess seams and an off the shoulder style heavily ruffled neckline.

  • Fabric content is unknown but looks like acetate under the lace.

  • Fully lined and fully boned in the bodice.

  • There is also a slit in the back to make walking, or sashaying, easier.

  • Center back lapped plastic zipper!

    OK, I’m going to say up front: this dress has some really strange dimensions. You can see on the side where it was altered to make it bigger (an excellent job was done). So, I really think this was altered to fit a drag queen. Maybe another drag queen will give this a new home!
