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.

Charcoal Wrap Gown

around opening which opens from the back. The wrap overlap is wide,

vintage and would make a lovely wedding gown as well as a formal for

Size 10
This lovely two-piece gown's color is called "Smoke" however; it is
actually a lavender color. The gown has a separate bodice and skirt.
The bodice is simple in design. It is very fitted with a side zipper

thin shoulder straps hold the bodice in place. The bodice is also
boned to give it additional form. The bodice falls to below the
natural waistline, giving the gown a long, lean look. The skirt is
fairly straight in the front; however the back a bit of a flare
toward the bottom of the skirt - it almost reminds me of a 1930's
bias skirt - without the bias cut. The bodice and skirt are fully
lined. The gown's label reads, "After Six" and it is "Made in USA".
The gown measures approximately: bustline=36"; waistline=29" and
