Sold Out

An absolutely incredible gown! This copper colored satin, wrap-style hostess formal evening gown is the perfect piece for all your Fall and Winter parties! The wrap feature with the matching satin belt is so luxurious. and it even has pockets!! Wrap and snap/hook closure. Would likely best fit a modern Large- though it looks like the snap/hook closures could possibly be moved to adjust the size at the waist slightly. Please see measurements! Label is from Morty Sussman for Mollie Parnis and has a union tag. For reference model is modern size 4/6 and dress form is a modern Medium.

Approximate Measurements :

  • Bust: 42 inches

  • Waist: 30 inches

  • Hips: about 46 inches (though it does have the wrap quality to it so there is a slit).

  • Length: about 60.5 inches at the longest point as hem is longer in back (measured from back of collar, down)

  • Sleeve Length: 25 inches from top of shoulder, down

Good vintage condition - Overall wear to the gown. Some markings to the satin all over the dress and belt- some are light spots that did not come out with dry cleaning, but to my eye most of these actually look like scuffs and scratches to the satin itself and only appear visible when looking at the satin in certain light/in a certain direction. Please see photos for what I mean. It was very difficult to capture these on camera but I tried my best with the images provided. A few loose threads that do not seem to impact wear and some mends to seams also noted. One small pin hole found near the waist. Some slight wear and a teeny hole found at the hem seam. Fabric likes to wrinkle, so hang it up as soon as you receive garment in the mail!

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.
