Special Occassion Evening Gown
Bought in 1958 from the swanky Marshall & Snelgrove Department store, this vintage gown is in perfect condition. Found in its original floral Marshall & Snelgrove box and wrapped in tissue- it has been wonderfully cared for.
Made from beautiful glazed 50’s print cotton. It could be starched for more volume if preferred. Muslin petticoat lining for that purpose.
It has a boned bodice and is exquisite on. So so feminine. It has a metal side zip.
It has an amazing fishtail detail at the back with a large draped bow.
This one is a unique evening dress and is a rare find.
Can be tried on in the shop any Saturday.
The model is a size 8 and she is v tall. The dress was a little big on her. Could be easily altered on the seams to fit perfectly.
