Lovely vintage 1950s bright white knit dress and cardigan set, originally purchased by the original owner for her wedding rehearsal dinner. The dress features a fan pleat skirt, and delicate pearl beading at the neckline. The cardigan mirrors the same pearl beading, and has larger pearl buttons up the front for closure.
Measurements and Condition:
Fits like: Women's medium
Fabric: Acrylic knit
Brand: A Dupont Orlon by Kimberly
Condition: Very good, the original hem of the skirt was let out leaving a minor crease that can be pressed out (the fabric edge is secure and not unraveling, so the dress can be worn as-is, or hemmed up again if desired), and the dress has some very faint yellowing at the fronts of the underarms (see close up).
