This is SUCH a beautiful print! Lovely and very collectible vintage rayon 1990's Bila dress--I have a very large personal collection of vintage Bila dresses of this type because they're simply WONDERFUL to wear in warmer months, plus the fabrics, details and colors are just so appealing! A sweet, charming dress for any summertime event--garden party, wedding, or vintage event. Gorgeous print of blue and purple flowers on soft woven rayon. Full gathered raised waist skirt that falls from an inset band at front and back, bodice with short sleeves. Pullover style, no fasteners. So flattering and so easy to wear! Marked a size S, please check measurements below.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE, please be sure to read ALL of the description especially the measurements and condition, and examine ALL the photos, BEFORE asking questions; and do be absolutely positive this piece will fit your requirements, as there are no refunds or returns. I'm a degreed and experienced textile scientist/antique garment restorer and seamstress, and I very, very carefully note any and all condition issues or repairs to every piece of antique/vintage clothing that I'm selling, so I can't stress enough that even if they're in pristine condition, remember they are all decades old and NOT new clothing, so if you desire modern perfection please don't purchase vintage! I don't do layaways or take offers, so please don't ask, thank you. Jewelry/accessories/props in photos are not included and not for sale.

I love antique and vintage clothing and have collected it for years, as well as having a longtime design career including doing costume & restoration work for major movie studios and museums....I've translated that love to my own contemporary creations as well as now offering some choice pieces of my extremely large collection of vintage and antique beauties! I'm meticulous about clothing in general so I make quite sure that every piece of vintage clothing I sell is clean, fresh, pressed and in excellent wearable condition---I do not use any fragranced or heavily-chemical products in caring for/cleaning garments and they are carefully stored in climate-controlled closets at all times except for when I am photographing them for listings. This is a NON SMOKING environment and always has been--I do not sell anything that has any kind of odor, nor do I ship clothing stuffed into shipping bags; I use new USPS boxes ONLY and carefully fold/wrap everything in new tissue paper.

Marked vintage S, please check measurements, wearer's actual body measurements should be at least 1-2" smaller than the max stated:
Bust: dress measures 36"
Raised waistline is approx. 37"
Length is 48" from shoulder to hem. Mannequin is approx. 5' 6" and a modern size 6/8; I feel this dress is most suited to about a size 6-8 as it fits the mannequin perfectly.
Condition: Vintage new, no issues whatsoever that I can see; freshly cleaned and ready to wear. Pulls on over the head, no fasteners. Bila label.

Please make sure this will suit you as to measurements and style before you purchase; I don't do alterations or accept returns.....Also, please be sure to read my shop policies/shipping info in full before you purchase (click on "policies" on my main shop page).
