Labels: Will Steinman Original This company made better-quality evening dresses and ball gowns from the 1920s through the 1960s. Fiber/Care: no tags, nylon net tulle, acetate lining, synthetic or blend taffeta / dry-clean (it's likely washable, but without knowing the fiber content of the taffeta, we wouldn't risk it) Condition: our new dry-cleaner did a good job, and there are no conspicuous glitches while the dress is being worn. we suspect the few remaining exterior spots will lift with future cleanings. those that remain on the lining won't show, but are more likely permanent. see photos. price reflects minor imperfections. *We've had this ball gown professionally dry-cleaned and it's ready to wear.* Garment Measurements: bust (straight across): 32"/81.25cm bust (including boned "cups"): 36"/91.5cm top of cup to waist: 11"/28cm waist: just shy of 26"/66cm hips: free (48"/122cm+) skirt length (lining): 34"/86.25cm hem sweep: 134"/268cm ☞ Our items are not newly manufactured "vintage style" pieces.
