This newer gown has such an elegant look! It is a combination of
black velvet and gold material.
The gown is very simple, except for the wide gold "cape-style"
collar. This off-the-shoulder "cape-style"
collar is part of the gown and encircles the entire bustline. A
vertical rhinestone bar accents the center
front of the gold collar. The remainder of the gown is black
velvet. The gown is very fitted with a center
back zipper. Black velvet shoulder straps hold the gown in place. A
high slit is located at the front side of the skirt.
The gown has a label which reads, "My Fashion U.S.A" and another
label reads, "Size 6". The gown measures
approximately: bustline=33"; waistline=23" and length (shoulder to
hemline)=50 1/2". The gown is in very good
condition and I do not believe it was ever worn.

color - I'm not sure my photographs accurately capture the color, but
it is a beautiful slate blue color. The gown features a wide "boat"

Hibiscus Gown
This wonderful hibiscus colored gown is made by "Wtoo". The gown is
simple, yet the back gives the gown a dramatic flair. The gown is
sleeveless and has a fitted bodice with a wide boat neckline in the
front. The back is cut in a "V" and open to just above the
waistline. Again, the bodice is very fitted in the front. A
material tie is attached to each side of the gown and ties at the
bottom of the "V" opening in the back. This gathers the back
material at the midrif and creates a very flattering look. A zipper
begins at the back opening and is nicely hidden in the skirt. The
front of the skit is cut straight; whereas the back has some fullness
that gathers under the tie and cascades to the floor, creating a
"train" of sorts. The gown is displayed on a dress form which
measures: bustline=42"; waistline=31" and gown length=60". The gown
is new and was purchased from a bridal shop that went out of
business. There are a few smudges at the hemline, which should come
out with cleaning. The gown has a label which reads, "Wtoo".

This beautiful gown is so vibrant! The color is a rich magenta with
wonderful tiny glitter. The glitter is just enough to create a bit
of a sparkle as you move. The gown has a fitted bodice with a wide
ruffle around the neckline and shoulder straps. I believe the gown
should be worn off the shoulders. The ruffle continues across the
bustline to the waistline. The bodice is boned and the gown has a
center back zipper closure. The skirt is full with an attached
crinoline. The skirt has an overskirt which is rimmed with a very
wide ruffle. The ruffle begins at the waistline and crosses the
skirt diagonally in both the front and the back. The gown is in very
good condition is sure to be a show stopper! The gown does not have
a size label, but measures approximately: bustline=33";
waistline=23" and length (shoulder to hemline)=53". The inside neck
label reads, "Mike Benet Formals" "Professional Dry Clean Only" "Made
in U.S.A."

Gunne Sax
Black Velvet &
Green Satin
Size 9
What a striking dress! This strapless dress begins with a black
velvet bodice. The bodice is boned and very fitted. The skirt is
done in a rich green color - a beautiful contrast to the black velvet
bodice. A large bow accents the center front of the dress at the
waistline. The bow is decorated with clear rhinestone trim (the
rhinestone trim needs a bit of tacking). The skirt is layered with
the top layer gradually opening to show the bottom layer. Both are
done in the same rich green. The dress also has an attached
crinoline to give the skirt a bit of body. An additional crinoline
could be worn for added fullness. The dress has a center back
zipper. The gown has never been worn and the label reads, "Gunne
Sax" "Size 9". Please use the following measurements, rather than
size as Gunne Saxs usually run a bit small. The dress measures:
bustline=34"; waistline=26"; skirt length (waistline to hemline)=27
1/2". The dress is in very good condition and just needs a bit of
steaming.

Gunne Sax
Pink/White Lace
Dress
This dress is so sweet - yet just a touch daring! The dress is made
by Gunne Sax and is done in a pink with a white lace overlay. The
dress has a bit of a 1940's look to it. It has padded shoulders and
a sweetheart neckline. The bodice is fitted with a drop waistline.
The back of the dress is so dramatic. It buttons at the neckline,
then is open to the waistline. The sleeves are long and fitted with
a 3 button closure. A large pink bow accents the center back
waistline of the dress. The bow may be removed as it is currently
only pinned in place. The dress is tea length and measures
approximately: bustline=35"; waistline=26"; shoulder to shoulder
width=14 1/2" and length (shoulder to hemline)=49". The dress is in
very good condition but does have a few breaks in the lace. These
are not serious and not at all detracting. The dress is very
versitile and could be worn by a bride, bridesmaid or to any formal
occasion.
