This gown is a match to FSC012, only this one is done in purple. It
has a boat neckline with 3/4 length sleeves. The bodice is fitted
and has a pleat which begins at the left shoulder and crosses to the
right side of the waistline. This pleat is accented with two bows -
one at the bustline and one at the waistline. The skirt is full
(should be worn with a larger crinoline) and has a few pleats at the
waistline to give the skirt an interesting drape. The back of the
gown has a large material flower at the waistline. The skirt is
gathered with pleating in the back and when worn with a larger hoop
or crinoline, has the look of a bustle. See FSC012 to see the
matching gown in fuschia. The gown is in very good condition and is
new/old stock. It has never been worn and was purchased from a
vintage warehouse. The gown is from the House of Bianchi line and
looks to be of 1960's vintage. It still has the original tag in
addition to the neck label which reads, "House of Bianchi, Boston,
New York. The gown measurements are: bustline=36"; waistline=25"-
26"; length (shoulders to hemline)=57". The gown is in very good
condition - no fading, stains, etc.

Circa 1970's Rose/White
Gown
This gown is a wonderful antique rose color. It is dramatically
accented with white lace trim. The gown has a high, white lace
collar and has a sheer upper bodice. The gown has an underdress
(lining) with spaghetti straps. A horizontal pleat runs across the
top of the bustline with a horizontal row of white lace peeking from
beneith the pleat. The sleeves are elbow length and fully lined.
They have a slight puff and end with a cuff accented with white lace.
The waistline is fitted and has belt loops, however there is no belt.
I would suggest using a white ribbon for a belt as it would work well
with the white lace accents. The skirt is nicely a-lined and is
simply decorated with a horizontal pleat toward the lower portion of
the skirt. The gown is a Size 7/8. This gown was purchased from a
bridal warehouse and has never been worn. It is in very good
condition, but does need cleaning as it has been stored way for
several years.

Scarlet Red "Bustle" Gown
Size 10
Scarlet is the color and you're sure to make a hit at any party in
this wonderful gown! The gown has a wide "boat" neckline in the
front and a deep "V" neckline in the back. The sleeveless gown looks
very simple from the fitted front with a higher waistline and slim
skirt. The back, however; is very dramatic. An "overskirt" is
attached at the side seams and is gathered at the center back where
it is joined with three material covered buttons. This overskirt
gives the back of the gown a "bustled" look. The gown is very figure
flattering and would be a definate hit. The gown is new and
was purchased from a bridal shop that went out of business. The gown
is a Size 10 and made by "Watters and Watters." It measures
approximately: bustline=38"; waistline=30" and length=58". The gown
is fully lined and in very good condition.

Ivory/Moonlight Bodice & Skirt
LARGE Size
10
This gown is one of my favorites! The ivory top and moonlight
yellow skirt compliment each other perfectly. The gown is definately
a "breath of spring." The top features a unique neckline - very wide
off the shoulder gradually dipping to a "V" at the center front. Even
though the gown is off the shoulders, short sleeves cover the upper
arms and end with vertical cuts. The bodice is very fitted and is
lightly boned. It is fully lined and has a center back invisible
zipper closure. The zipper begins at the bottom edge of the bodice
and continues to just below the neckline. The bodice is fitted
through the natural waistline and ends just above the hips. The
floor length skirt is a lovely shade of yellow. It is cut fairly
straight with a center back invisible zipper. The gown is new and
was purchased from a bridal shop that went out of business. It has
not been worn, but has been tried on. All of the original labels and
tags are still intact. There is a smudge on the bodice which is just
surface dirt and will come out with cleaning. The gown would be
perfect for a second marriage, mother-of-the-bride or any other
formal occasion. The gown is marked a Size 10, but is actually
larger, so please use the following measurements: bustline=39";
waistline=31"; bodice length=17"; skirt length=44". The gown is made
by "Watters & Watters."
