1960s Vintage Helga Off White and Blue Silky Floral Sheath Style Summer Cocktail Dress - Sm to Md

$99.00

A lovely vintage sheath style dress, perfect for summertime festivities. The gorgeous blue floral print is so bold and beautiful against the white background. Zips up the back with Talon zip. Label is for Helga and says vintage size 12 (At least I think it says 12, its a bit faint on the tag). Fabric feels like silk and dress is lined. Would likely best fit a modern Small or Medium, hip measurements more suggest a size Small, but bust and waist suggest medium so PLEASE see measurements!! Model is modern size 4/6 for reference and it was a tad big in the back and chest area.

Measurements of Dress:

  • Bust: 36 inches, up to 38 pulled taught (to account for the darting)

  • Waist: 29 inches

  • Hips: 36 inches

  • Length: about 38 inches (from shoulder seam, down in front)

  • Sleeve Length: 6 inches

    Good Vintage Condition - Some overall wear to the dress. There are a few pulls to the fabric. Some slight discoloration - most noticeable on the inside underarms to my eye - as well as some marks and spots to the piece that did not come out with dry cleaning. Zipper does need a forceful tug sometimes but it does work. A tiny pin hole near the waist was found. A worn spot inside the lining at the collar - not seen when worn and should not impact wear. A few loose threads and some wear to the inner seam allotments, but again this should not impact wear. The hem area does seem like it bunches a teeny bit sometimes. Also to note, but NOT a flaw, just how it was made; the hem is slightly longer in back than it is in front.

    All measurements are approximate as they are taken flat - for garments specifically this means where applicable (bust, waist, hips) has been doubled unless stated otherwise. If you are uncertain about fit and/or need more measurements please ask! If it is provided in the listing, models and/or dress form sizes are used as a point of reference only. Please remember that all bodies are different so always defer to the measurements I provide and check them against your own, preferably on a similar style garment.
