Vintage 30s Style Red Orange Acetate Maxi Size S Black Appliqué Gown Prom Dress

Vintage size Small 1930s-inspired red-orange satin acetate maxi gown with black floral appliqué. Great prom dress! Definitely vintage--likely made in the 1950s using a 30's gown style. Probably homemade. While this seems like a possible vintage party or dance costume (?), it would be great now as a debutante gown with an old Hollywood jazz age vibe or a one-of-a-kind festival dress. And what a great inspiration for a clothing designer for tv, film, and theatre! 35" bust / 25" waist / 40" hips / 16" shoulder to waist 52" total length (front) / 58" total length (back) / 17" zipper length Fairly poorly and quickly constructed of a lightweight acetate-like fabric in a salmon/orange/reddish tone with black floral details. Hem in back is 6 inches longer than in front. VERY rare and unusual find! Bias-like skirt drape. NOTE: Fair condition: some spots, holes (pix 6) and stains on lower back of skirt. Some pinholes. Back neckline has torn corner, which can be repaired. Some fading. • Sleeveless with wide straps, bodice lined in red cotton • Scoop front neckline, curved scallop back neckline (has tear) • Black floral cotton appliqué zigzag stitched onto bodice & trailing down skirt (front and back) - dates this to probably 1950s • Long fitted darts from waistband extending down skirt (elongated 1930s-style detail) • High-low hemline (longer in back, debutante/prom-style silhouette) • White nylon Talon zipper closure up the side Great for costume designers, stylists, costume sho
