About the Item

Created by the same designer who made Grace Kelly's wedding gown, this ball gown is instantly recognizable as a vintage masterpiece in the style of Charles James.

Strapless ball gown with cummerbund-folded surplice bodice, sculpted waist and dramatically flared skirt with four full-length front princess seams that come to a point at sternum. Massive 1 ½’ rear bow with detachable 4’ train and floral silk bouquet that cascades from center back. Two flexible stays inside bodice, plus interior grosgrain waistband with hook and eye closure; rear metal zipper closure with top hook and eye, plus hidden snaps for hanging train, if desired. Hanging straps; fully lined in silk taffeta. fabric: heavyweight duchess satin noteworthy: dry clean only repairs: reattached bow and train snaps where necessary condition: very good with light underarm staining and gentle lining discoloration measurements: bust: 34” underbust/ribcage: 28” waist: 26” hips: free length: 53 ½” from underarm sweep: 108” hem: 3 ½” train: graduated 6” – 23” wide x 46” long label: Helen Rose size: no size tag present; comparable to modern size extra small - small
