Comment

This vintage dress has been well looked after and is in excellent condition for its age. Notwithstanding its age, the dress has no noticeable flaws that I can see other than the unfinished hemline (both dress and lining). Priced accordingly as a result.

Reminds me of the beautiful Dior dress worn by Marilyn in one of her last photo shoots in 1962. Picture included here because one really doesn't need much encouragement to share a photo of the exquisite Marilyn Monroe.

Shown with a crinoline for demonstration purposes only.
