Condition: Here is another adorable dress, made of a light teal and white floral patterned acetate, with a side metal zip, rounded collar and a nice full pleated skirt. Overall in excellent condition, but the underarms seams are slightly pulled, as are the two back darts in the dress. Still not a huge problem when wearing the dress, although if you are a hardcore swing dancer, you might not want to wear this dress on the dance floor (I have runined many a dress from doing slick moves!) No tag, so it might be home sewn. Otherwise in excellent conditon, the neckline and underarms are clean and other than the few pulls, no other pulls and no holes on the dress. Grab this for your next special event!

Condition: Oh-la-la! This dress is out of sight, made of a cornflower blue silk, and the bodice is decorated with Italian cut work and embroidery. Front buttons and a box pleated skirt. Unlined. The dress does have a fade on the underarms, not watermarked, but clearly faded. I don't think this will be a big deal when wearing the dress, because who the heck will be staring at your underarms, but it is worth mentioning. Despite this fault, the lacework and the fact that this dress is silk still hold it's value. No holes or pulls in the decorations, nor on the dress itself.

Condition: I just love this dress, and don't worry just because it's red with green trim, you won't look like a Chirstmas tree! This is a sea foam green, with a speckled weave, the dress has red front buttons and red yarn trim on a little bow. Dress is super sheer, so you will need a slip. The fabric flows and will cling nicely to the right curves. Pin pleated bodice, box pleated skirt, and a side metal zip. Really this is the ultimate rockabilly dress.
