COTILLION vintage 1950s prom dress

vintage 1950s prom dress,
COTILLION frothy peachy pink coral cupcake evening gown,
shelf bust ruffles tulle meringue ball gown


Another lovely find from the local theatre company. As such there are modifications and things of note.


Fitted bodice with boning and shelf bust and wrapped netting in a peachy coral. This was such a popular color back in the day.

Strapless.

Side zipper.

The skirt is the star of the show.

Full circle skirt with a top lace peplum that starts shorter in the front and falls to full length in the back.

The second layer of net; rows and rows of gathered tulle.

Sturdy taffeta lining.

Very condition. The zipper has been replaced by one of the big theatre company zippers. See pic.
There are some repairs to the lace here and there that really get lost in the fullness, so not a big deal. There is some discoloration to the lining, again hidden. Last pic will show the tiniest mark on the top of the bust.

Measures:
No stretch

32 bust

24 waist

free hips

49 long - top of bodice to hem
