This unlined lightweight cotton eyelet dress is a pretty pastel yellow, has a fitted torso, high waist, and long flounce skirt. Featuring a peter pan collar, short puff sleeves, and a GORGEOUS three-tiered ruffle at the waist, it's a stunning piece. It has darts at the bust line, a nice flare and seams, starting after the fitted waist going through the hem which has been professionally finished and can be let up or down a couple inches. The ruffle waist is the length of the hips, starts midway at the dress and extends all the way around the back, and each of the 3 levels are tapered. It's very flattering!
Condition: Fair. This has holes and pre-existing repairs - I bet you can barely see the existing repairs in the photos, and that's not because I am hiding them, it's because this is easy to fix and has been repaired with love. It would be very easy to fix yourself, if you've ever sewed anything before. See photos!!
Everything from My Home on Mars has been professionally cleaned and restored, and ships with a care sheet specific to the material and time period of each piece. Most things require no special maintenance, but a simple list of "do's and don'ts" ensures your item maintains its condition for years to come.
In addition to being a vintage dealer, I am a USPAP-compliant personal property appraiser. Part of that job, separate from this one, is determining the value and authenticity of every piece I examine. I'm proud to bring that high standard of ethics, expertise, and research skills to My Home on Mars, allowing peace of mind for all my customers.
