1950s Gray Wiggle Dress by Roseweb NY – Vintage Sheath with Side Zip

This 1950s wiggle dress by Roseweb of New York is a timeless pinup classic. Constructed from a soft gray midweight suiting fabric with thoughtful tailoring, it features a square neckline with two delicate bows, soft pleating at the bust and hips, and flattering short sleeves. The side metal zipper provides a smooth fit, and the silhouette hugs in all the right places for that signature mid-century shape. Inside, you'll find pinked seams, original sewn-in underarm guards (still affixed with a safety pin on one side), and partial inner lining—all hallmarks of quality vintage construction. The label reads “Roseweb New York – Size Tested for Misses” with a union tag to further confirm its age and craftsmanship. 🧵 Condition Notes: The underarm area shows a prior mend on one side, and one of the sweat guards is pinned instead of sewn. Slight wear around the underarms, but otherwise this dress remains crisp, wearable, and beautifully constructed. 📏 Flat Measurements (doubled where needed): Length: 41” Bust: 36” Waist: 28” Hips: 35” Estimated Modern Size: US 8 Perfect for collectors, vintage lovers, or anyone seeking an authentic mid-century silhouette.
