Vintage 1940s Mauve Pink Taffeta Ruffle Trim Puff Sleeve Formal Gown - XS
This dreamy, mauvey-pink taffeta dress is perfect for spring formal events or prom. It features:
• Fit & flare silhouette
• Shimmery taffeta fabric
• Ruched puff sleeves
• Sweetheart neckline
• V waistline with drop-waist seam
• Attached fabric waist tie that can be tied at back
• Ruched bust detail
• Ruffle trim with silver metallic thread at neckline and circular ruffled appliques at front of skirt
• Side "CONMAR" metal zipper closure
• Floor length
• No designer or care labels
• Based on the style and construction, I estimate this piece dates to the 1940s
• This item has been professionally dry cleaned
Good vintage condition (very good for its age). There are several small holes at the front of skirt as well as two mended holes and a dark mark near hem of skirt; see detail photos. Priced accordingly.
This dress would best fit a modern size XXS or XS, but please refer to measurements:
• 16" across chest (fits up to 32" bust)
• 12.25" across waist (fits up to 24.5" waist)
• Open hips
• 13" shoulder to shoulder seam
• 59" total length
All measurements are taken flat in inches. When considering fit, compare it to a garment you own that fits well. For waist and hip measurements, double it to get the full circumference.
Modeled on a size S (4-6) petite (5'3"), measurements 34" x 28" x 38".
Fit notes: We were not able to fully zip the dress on model.
All items are vintage and pre-loved. All major flaws are listed, but small blemishes like loose stitches and buttons may not be in the item description as they are to be expected when purchasing vintage items.
