Vintage 1950s Chiffon Party Dress - SUPER BEAUTIFUL Delphite Blue Party Prom Gown w Velvet Floral + Rhinestones Bust Size M

♛Details

Absolutely undeniably stunning 1950’s delphite blue chiffon party dress with boned, draped, princess-seamed bust bursting with velvet and rhinestone blossoms. A medium, somewhat harder-to-find in this style and more beautiful than any chiffon on the market currently (okay, the last statement is my opinion, not fact :).

Shown shot by a couple different cameras to show you what it looks like photographed. The color is more vibrant depending on lighting and camera. As far as the blue color, it's like delphite depression era kitchen glass, with an age-faded pale violet lining. Magical.

Disneybound as Cinderella, walk the red carpet, slay your next fancy event!

Great vintage shape. 65+ years old, well-preserved, with only subtle, normal signs of previous use. Bones inside bodice are intact, not broken. Lining would have been blue when new, and is now the typical beautiful pale violet hue these become over the decades.

Has aged beautifully and has incredible charisma, as the photos illustrate well.
