This is a rather sophisticated 50s dress made of black taffeta with decorative black satin bow and trim.  The dress is made with a bateau or “boat” neckline, raglan style 3/4 length sleeves and has a dropped waist defined by a black satin band with side bow.  It is constructed with an accented waistline and a full skirt.  The side of the skirt, below the bow, is made with the a box pleat with satin lined overflaps.  The dress closes at the back with a Lightning metal zipper and is lined beneath the bodice with black acetate.  The skirt is lined in black pellon and has a tulle support slip.  The dress, because of the full skirt, might look good with a crinoline underneath it in order to create a 50s fashion effect, although, due to the dropped waist, looks perfect as is.

Label: No label on this 50s dress, probably couturier made.  This is very well made - the use of Lightning zipper indicates that it was most likely a Canadian couturier.

Material: Lightweight knit wool over acetate and pellon.  Pellon is a non-woven paper based synthetic interfacing that was used in the 1950s to stiffen and support dress fabrics.  If you want to dry clean the dress, you may have to remove it and then replace it as dry cleaning can disintegrate it.  

Sizing: No size is indicated, but this should fit a medium size - please rely on the following measurements for fit:

Bust: 36” around, taken under the arms

Natural waistline:  25”-26” around

Hips:  35”-36”

Overall length: 43"

Condition: It is in very good condition with no pronounced wear, tear, stains or odor.  This dress looks like it saw little use and was well stored over the years.

This is a wonderful 1950s era party dress - beautifully made with quality fabric in a sophisticated 50s style...sure to noticed!

A better Ironman design
Color: Black/Blue
I've been a fan of Timex watches for most of my life, paying about $30 for one in the 1960s, and that hasn't changed at all in 2010 because I'm still paying about $30 for my Timex watches. It is a rare case indeed when the quality of a product continually improves over several decades while the price remains the same. And as John Cameron Swayze would say in those live ads during the early years of TV, "Timex takes a lickin and keeps on tickin". The MEGA deserves a good review after I have been using it for a while. You might also see it advertized as the "Oversize" because most distinctive about this design is its size, so tagging it with the name MEGA is entirely justified. It is massive in comparison to most of the other Ironman series of watches, and what seemed at first to be just another unnecessary Ironman 30 Lap design has turned out to be one of my favorites for all-around wearing. This new design keeps the clockworks of the standard size 30 Lap Ironman watches, it counts up and down, programs the same, has several alarms, and of course, it has the Indigo night light that works so well. This is one of five different versions of the Mega available in the USA, and the only one with a Fastwrap Velcro wristband with blue striping and a matching blue bezel. Velcro wristbands are a favorite among many athletes and when it wears out, it can be replaced with either an identical factory band or one that is made of urethane rubber. Overall, the Mega is a good choice for runners in need of a new 30 lap Ironman who can appreciate having a watch that is distinctively larger and what I would consider to be much better in appearances over the others of standard or mid size Ironman dimensions.

Nice watch
Color: Purple/Silver-Tone, Color: Purple/Silver-Tone
Decent brand. Decently priced and nice size. Fits my wrist with no issues. Well made. The band does not look like it can be changed out but that is not an issue. Purple & chrome 33mm resin case with magenta accents; acrylic lens; gray digital display; Indiglo light-up watch dial, is the listing for what is is made from. It was easy to set up with all the necessary information. Will make a nice work watch. Decent brightness wehn hitting the button to light it up. The numbers light up nicely.
