From the 1940s or very early 1950s, a ballgown in seafoam green with coordinating wrap.

• Spaghetti straps (also of tulle), sweetheart neckline, bust darts for shaping
• Iridescent sequins form flowers on bodice in varying shades of blue, green, and white

• Tea-length to full-length (depending on your height) skirt opens from micro-pleats at the hips to very full at the hem
• Shown in photos with our crinoline beneath, which is not included. Skirt is wide enough to wear with much larger crinoline or even a hoop, if desired

Fiber/Care: no tags, nylon tulle over rayon or acetate blend lining / dry-clean only

Condition: Really good. Only flaws are color shift to the lining at the lower part of the skirt and typical cracking to the back/interior of the belt (not visible, doesn't affect wear). Could use a cleaning for freshness, but no offensive odors present.
