An original piece of Chicago costume history.
By John Baur.
Late 1950s.
John Baur designed for vaudeville to Ice Follies to the Joffrey Ballet.
His costumes are hard to find. This costume is for the smaller person, but still wearable.
Salmon to coral colored dress. Hard to describe color.
Prong-set rhinestones. Hand-sewn on beads and rhinestones.
Professionally made.
Inside band has handwritten name, "Poret" or a similar name. See photo.
Still wearable.
It appears that padding was lightly sewn into the cups at some later date. I have not tried to remove them.
Very, very small costume.
Please note the measurements.
XXS woman to a child's.
Measurements in inches laid flat and side to side
Bust: 15 inches (doubled 30 inches)
Waist: 11 inches (doubled 22 inches)
Hips: free
Shoulders to waist: 13 1/2 inches
Waist to hem: 25 inches
No returns
This costume was used in productions and may have wear that I have not noticed. The costume has some previous repairs and possibly alterations to fit various performers.
I found a couple of spots within the folds of the skirt. Please see the last 3 photos.
