RED RED ROSES in 3D ribbon type texture all over the stunning lace floral print of this dress. Made by designer Sylvia Rutkins and sold in her Madison Avenue NY boutique sometime during 1952-1959, this beauty is a stunning example of the gorgeous dresses typical of this era.

She features a gentle sweetheart neckline with the illusion of an tulle bust feature layer, and she has soft capped sleeves which feature a fine elastic which hold them onto the edge of the shoulder. Her bodice is tapered and has boning to maintain her structure. She features a strapless under bodice with the beautiful lace layer giving an illusion style neckline.

Her skirt is three layers, the lowest layer is a cream coloured lining, there is one section of the lining which has an L shaped tear - this is not visible when worn and please see the photos for detail. Her next layer is a very fine layer of bridal tulle which is very soft, and has unfortunately torn in some places, I believe that some areas may have been caught on the horsehair hem of the lace layer which has damaged this tulle, the tulle is also on the bodice and sleeve which has some separation of the tulle. This does not affect her wearability at all, this damage cannot be seen when worn and please see photograph attached which shows the worst area of damage.

The top layer of her skirt is a floral printed lace which features bouquets of red roses which are made from a soft ribbon. They appear to be slightly lighter on the shoulder area but this was only apparent when viewing carefully. Her lace layer has had several repairs but these are not noticeable. There may be some very minor lace damage however I have inspected the garment carefully and could not find any further areas needing repair.

She features a beautiful dropped scalloped back and fastens with a centre back zip and hook and eye.

She has been carefully laundered and pressed and is ready to wear. The price of this dress reflects her flaws, however she is undeniably beautiful and certainly wearable as she is.
