J Peterman 1950s Style White Collar Black Velvet Dress Size 4 Bust 34 $279

Description: "Some British children born at the start of the Second World War had no idea what ice cream was or that such a scrumptious concoction even existed. What did they get instead? A carrot on a stick, of course. Sugar, eggs, and butter were all severely rationed during this time. This could be why nanny's attic is full of stuffy ol' velvet-she never got to have ice cream. All those carrots did, however, give her eyes like a hawk. And boy does she use them scrupulously. Seeing you in this dress, she's completely flummoxed. That collar? The silk georgette? Is that a satin ribbon bow? Why are you showing so much arm? This isn't proper evening velvet. It's far too demure and girly. Mischievous. Incorrigible, even. Did you have your carrots this evening? No, Nanny. Tonight, I'll be having the ice cream. White Collar Velvet Dress (No. 5428). Demure cotton velvet with a hint of stretch for movement and comfort. 100% silk georgette collared bib inset with pintucks and satin ribbon bow. Cap sleeves, princess seams, mid-calf length, and invisible zipper with hook-and-eye closure at center back. Removable velvet belt with rhinestone D-ring closure. Fully lined. Imported.

It has history, was, most likely, lovingly worn and cared for and endured far more years than most of us - in most cases 70 to 100 plus years. We try to detail every imperfection, but some seam separations, discoloring and stains may escape us; however we strive to repair and clean these wonderful designs from the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s ( I rarely dabble in post 1970 clothing). If you want perfect, I suggest you look elsewhere for newer clothing. If you want wonderful echoes of past designs and their attention to detail, we may have items that will appeal to you. Most of our listings, if not new, are repaired or mended to the best of our abilities and noted within the description. Most vintage items are professionally dry cleaned or laundered by an eco-friendly green on premises cleaner. As a result, listings prices often reflect this worthwhile investment in these garments. Their history warrants nothing less. Combining shipping charges is always our pleasure. With multiple wins or purchases, please await an invoice reflecting your discounted shipping. Excessive shipping charge overage will be refunded to buyer. Shipping calculations, I've found, are seldom correct. Sold AS IS with No Returns.
