Description An absolutely gorgeous 1950’s party dress in an exquisite floral print chiffon organza. The style typifies the 50’s - oh so feminine and figure flattering - perfect to accentuate a shapely figure. There are two layers to the skirt – an ivory satin acetate lining, topped with a floating overlayer of white chiffon decorated in an exquisite pink floral print. The print is stunning – it resembles hand painting. Maker’s label reads “Junior Theme – New York”.
Note the special details on this lovely dress – sexy plunging cross over neckline, fabulous twirling full skirt and especially the vibrant floral print. Note the dress is photographed using a crinoline to show the skirt to full advantage – the crinoline is not included.
The dress closes down the rear with a hidden metal zipper. The entire dress is lined in ivory satin acetate.
Vintage size label indicates size 13, but please see measurements below for proper fit. This is definitely not a modern size 13 ; it is a small to medium size which would best fit a modern size 6 or 8.

Condition
This dress is in excellent vintage condition. No stains on the chiffon and underarms are clean. The white chiffon is still beautifully white and clean, with no discoloration. I found a few of the small snags and picks typical of chiffon dresses of this vintage and a few tiny breaks in the outer chiffon above the skirt hemline. Given the print and the volume of fabric, these are inconspicuous. No significant defects to note.
See my other listings for more 50’s party/prom dresses, including several others in chiffon. Combination shipping is available at cost.
