A few years later, the family business was moved to Miami where it became better known as Serbin of Florida.

Condition
What a beautiful dress! It's in excellent for its age with no flaws that I can see. The white background has the slightest tinge of lilac but unsure if this is how it was meant to be or the consequence of the faintest of bleeds. If it is the latter, it is remarkably even throughout and really nothing to detract from the overall presentation of this stunningly vibrant dress. Cleaned and ready to wear. Please drop us a line if your require additional information about this listing.
