50s retailer Pink Tulle Dress / Vintage 1950s Cupcake Purple Lace Rhinestone Ball Gown / Women Medium / Bridesmaid Wedding Floor Length Cap Sleeves

1950s TULLE DRESS

Features include:
* Lace bodice overlay and cap sleeves; matching lace trim on skirt
* Rhinestones scattered all over the lace
* Square neck and natural waistline
* Floor length and full, gathered skirt
* Skirt has three layers- lining fabric, tulle, and a more fine net fabric that floats like chiffon
* Braided hem gives it even more volume
* Metal zipper and hook/thread eye at left side seam
* No labels inside but there are matching pink hanger loops
* Note: Photos #1, 2, 6, and 8 have been edited slightly to more accurately show the pink-y purple color of this dress, but keep in mind that all screens represent colors differently. Apologies for the poor quality of these photos! It was when I was first starting out and I haven't had an opportunity to redo them since then.

The approximate size is Medium, but please pay attention to these measurements, taken laying flat and zipped up:
Bust (doubled): 36"
Waist (doubled): 28"
Hips: open
Total length (armpit to hem): 47"
Waist to hem: 39"
Sleeve length: 2.5"

This garment is in good vintage condition, meaning it has multiple noted minor flaws retailer, which are most likely reparable or already repaired, and would be wearable with care or after repair. These flaws include:
* Underarms are slightly discolored
* Interior of the bodice behind where rhinestones are placed is green in some areas (from the metal) and thinning in others. This is not visible on the outside due to the lace overlay, but thinning areas may need to be reinforced before wearing. This is visible in photo #10, left side. On the bright side, all the rhinestones are all still intact and very sparkly!
* Top layer of skirt is slightly discolored and there is a 1" section on right side of hem that's ripped (see photo #10, bottom right)
* Also on top layer are a few very small holes (1/8" or less) on the back side and one large section that measures 6" long that was previously repaired (not by me, photo #10, top right)
* Right side seam has a small hole that would be easy to repair
* Tulle middle layer has very uneven hem but would be easy enough to fix with scissors
* I have already repaired some loose sections of lace on the bodice; lace on the back right shoulder strap still needs some attention

This dress has been dry cleaned, but it is a small town establishment so another dry cleaner might have other, more effective, methods to try on the discoloration mentioned above.
