Description: A perfect segue to the fall season still highlighting sun-kissed arms and clavicle. The New Look with shorter sleeves and full skirting is flattering in any season. Late 1940s/1950s mid-calf Jerry Gilden Spectator paisley faille (ribbed taffeta) cocktail or prom dress. The ribbed nature of the fabric holds its sheen and luster. More substantial, too. Consider it a bridal weight fabric. A dramatic scooped front and back ballet neckline - trimmed to accentuate, side metal zipper, paisley print, 3/4 sleeves, full skirting pleated into the waist. no belt included. Jerry Gilden Spectator is the label. Damage? Faintest of underarm ringing (left side only), truly barely noticeable (see photo). Structurally sound with no damage. Dry-cleaned, too. Bust 36-38, waist to 28, hips full to 40, shoulder to shoulder 13, sleeve length from shoulder 13, length 40. Hem sweep is 110 inches. The boxed shipping weight is 2 pounds, 5 ounces. (This is a great deal of fabric.)A note regarding vintage clothing: it is rarely perfect. It has history, was, most likely, lovingly worn and cared for and endured far more years than most of us - in most cases 70 to 100 plus years. We try to detail every imperfection, but some seam separations, discoloring and stains may escape us; however we strive to repair and clean these wonderful designs from the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s ( I rarely dabble in post 1970 clothing). If you want perfect, I suggest you look elsewhere for newer clothing. If you want wonderful echoes of past designs and their attention to detail, we may have items that will appeal to you. Most of our listings, if not new, are repaired or mended to the best of our abilities and noted within the description. Most vintage items are professionally dry cleaned or laundered by an eco-friendly green on premises cleaner. As a result, listings prices often reflect this worthwhile investment in these garments. Their history warrants nothing less. Sold AS IS with No Returns. Smoke and Pet-Free Environment.
